My Fish Had Fry!!!!!

So I just got a fish yesterday and didn't even have it for 5 hours and it gave birth I saved 5 of the fry I think their may be more in the larger tank though and I m getting a breeder net hopefully today.
/
Is it true that from one mating a Molly can have up to 4 batches?

And Do I feed the Premie Fry to the adults the ones who were born but not yet ready for protein?

And How Comet he fry are all different colors I Have a Dalamation Molly.

And I think my other Dalamation Molly might be Pregnant

Oh Well I Guess atleast I have homes lined up

 

Welcome to FishLore!

Congrats of the fry! Mollies can have several batches of fry up to six months after a male has been removed from the fish tank. So you will most likely have several more drops from this specific female. You can feed the fry crushed flakes that you feed to the adults. That's what I did mostly. Most likely the sire of the fry is a different color than the female you have so that affected the colors your fry would be. If you got your females from a pet store which kept their females and males together then you most definitely have two pregnant females

 

Yes I did and they kept males and females togather I am working on getting 1-2 more tanks like small 5 gallons or a 20 gallon for them as of right now their just in a container. and this is my first set of fry ever it seems like ever so often one of the dead ones 'Comes back to life" And I have one more alive and and 1 less dead one. And they change colors with is weird to and I also have Sunburst platies or were mixed male and females could those be pregnant and I have no male mollies only females and 3 female platies and 1 male and 3 male guppies

 

Pretty much any female live bearer that you purchaced is most likly pregnant. Even if they where in separate tanks at the store. Chances are good they where in a mixed sex tank before they got to the store, and very very few places will hold the fish separately for 6 months to make sure they won't have anymore babies. Also if you have males in the tank, expect fry about every 4 weeks indefinatlly.

 

Only 1 Male Platy and 3 male guppies in the tank

 

Ok, but you have male and female platies right, so those can breed. And guppies and mollies can cross breed, so if you have male guppies and female mollies you may get muppies.

 

Yeah I know I am hoping to get another tank soon to separate them or atleast the females when they give birth
