Silver Molly Breeding

[Pankakes]

I recently rec'd 3 Silver Mollies when they were babies. How long will it take them to be able to have babies and do you think with just 3 Mollies they will have babies? Please let me know. Thanks

they shouldbe able to have babies by the time they are 4 months or so. If there are females and males they will have babies.

Do you think with only 3 they will in a community tank? They do all hang together.

all it takes is one male and one female

like the hubby says doesnt matter if there even just one pair, they WILL breed its the life of a livebearer..breeding and eating..oh and pooping heck in some cases the females store sperm so they ca even give brith for months without a male in the tank.

Maybe you can get more information in the breeding section.

Females are larger and the males have a little "winkie" underneath.

males have a gonopodium

males have a gonopodium

It's more fun saying "winkie."
