We just bought four new Molly Fish about a week ago. One of them was very plump. Mollies are live-bearers, so we figured she was pregnant. Sure enough the next day she had fry! Mollies eat baby fish though, so we had to rescue them. We kept the mom seperate for a few hours to be sure she was done giving birth. The fry will stay in the fish nursery for eight weeks, then they should be big enough to join the other fish. We have about ten babies, but they don’t stay still long enough to count them! We will probably try to find a new home for lots of them. Let us know if you’re interested! They look like they will be solid black common mollies, but we won’t know until they’re older.
Talk about a fish fry!😂 I didn’t realize that there were such things as live-bearing fish, though. Are there many other breeds of fish that are also live-bearers?
I don’t know much about breeding fish, but so far we have had mollies and guppies give birth. I have heard that there are several other live bearing fish breeds as well.
