alLykaT66 Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Hi! my mollie just had some fry with 2 large sailfin males, and the fry don'y have any trace of a sail fin. will they just grow into it when they're older? thanks (they are only 2 weeks old, so I may have to wait and that is my problem.)

DSH OUTDOORS Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Congrats on the fry! I think you will have to grow them out a bit to determine what they will end up looking like. I have 5 week old Dalmatian Molly fry and it is still hard to tell what characteristics they will end up with. Also consider that your female may have been pregnant prior to introduction to your current males. It might take a few fry dumps to start showing characteristics of the current males in the tank. Either way, time will tell once they are raised up to 2-3 months old. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alLykaT66 Posted April 23, 2021 Author Share Posted April 23, 2021 For the characteristics, my female had be with the same two males for 7 weeks, so i think one of them is the father. Thanks for the advice though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alLykaT66 Posted April 23, 2021 Author Share Posted April 23, 2021 Also, i have a 3 month old fry, and she can change her scale and eye color from tank to brown. She only does it at night and when shes scared, but i haven't seen her actual colorful scales grow in yet. When does their color start to come in?
