Hi guys,
Everything I have read says a mollies gestation period is 28-30 days.
Well we bought as black molly around christmas, on new years eve we came home to molly fry. Unfortunately we just lost the last baby this week.
Anyway, a few weeks ago mama molly was looking pretty big, there is a huge white spot on her anal fin.
On Jan 28th I caught her and put her in a breeder box, its now Feb first and we haven't seen any fry.
Its been 32 days, is this normal? Since she is the only moly in the tank she is obviously using stored sperm, is it possible she waited to impregnate herself after the last batch?
If it matters she is in a brackish tank sg is 1.003-1.005 and the water stays 76-78f.
