hello... ive had a dalmation molly for a while and it was starting to look a bit loney by itself... so yesterday i bought it a friend (nearly identicle spots) and it just so turned out their of opposite sex...
just wondering how the reproduce so hopefull i can have some baby mollies

Mollies are live bearers. Breeding is easy just put a male and female together and wait. You'll have more Mollies than you know what to do with.

mollies r like guppies once they start breeding they dont stop and b4 long u will have hundreds of babies put sum breeding grass in the bottom 4 the babies to hide else they just get eaten.

breeding grass is like a dense sheet of plastic grass fine enough for the babies to swim around in but to fine for the adults 2 fit into

The male only needs to fertilize the female once, and she can have multiple pregnancies.

I went from 5 to 100 in less than a year, doing nothing but feeding micro pellets to the whole tank (well, and changing water, etc). I put a sponge over the filter intake so the babies didn't get sucked up.

Floating plants were enough for the babies to stay out of trouble, and keeping the adults fed keeps them from finding the babies quite so appetizing.

The grass is the best solution without going with a breeding box.

The babies are usually smart enough to find any small hiding space you have in there.

thanks... ive got a breeding box but i might try this breeding grass... i got given a whole heap of mollies, guppies and swordtails last week so im expecting babies soon...
p.s is it that big black spot behind the females belly thats the babies???
