I think it's too early still to determine. We have platy fry and still they all appear to be female.

Re: How to idenified mollie fry' sex

I'd say after about 6-8 months you should start seeing some kind of anal-fin development that will help you determine females from males.. the anal-fin on Mollies ( and several other live-bearers) is underneath the fish.. if it's fan shaped, that's a female.. if it's not fan shaped, and kind of skinny and pointy, that's a male.. hope that helps.
