My dalmatian molly had babies! That's not funny! I told my bf to get 2 females cos we don't have space for babies. We've had them for 3 months now... and guess what?!!... there is an explosion of mini mollies in my tank.

I know that guppy females can 'bank' sperm inside of them for months and impregnate them selfs if there are no males around.

Is that so with Mollies too?

Matt

I do not think that is the same with mollies isis. Just sell the babies for a few rant when the grow up.

oh yes! I will give them away if I have to hahaha! I'll make a deal with my fish store guy... I'll give him 13 mollies if he gives me a female betta

... do you think it's a good deal? I think it's a GREAT deal LOL!

Matt

I don't know much about live bearers. I think I read on here recently, that they could give birth to up to 6 months? yikes!
Not sure about that, though.

Swordtails and guppy's can hold sperm in them for 5-6 batches (6 months) but i dont know about molly's. You could have a male and female in there? i dont know. thats weird. i like the betta deal though

I used to Have a dalmation molly in my goldfish tank but very sadly she died.

All live-bearing females (and a few cichlids) have the ability to store sperm up to 10 months,depending on the size of batches they have. They could pop out 1 at a time, or 20 at a time. I think the average is about 6 at once without a male present. With a male present the female could continuously have babies,and store sperm simultaneousely. So the length of time she could store it,wouldn't matter much.

Matt

yes it is. Read My Post In Lucy's Post "A W-mart stopped selling bettas". Plz Tell Me What U Think Of It.
