What A Birthrate!

Hi all, My Dalmation Molly has happily bred with my saffron molly 3 times now, producting orange and black spotted mollies, I call them Leopard Mollies, but there is probably a proper name for them.

Anyway, the first breading produced just 3 babies, then the second was 11 babies, whic I thought was normal.

Then this time, I have 32 BABIES!

I got them in a seperate tank, do they normally increase birthrate with every litter? and if so, am I going to get 60+ next time?

I knew they were prolific breaders, but 32 fry in one go!

Also, Is anybody interested in taking some off my hands when they have matured?
