ScandiDefense Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Hi guys! Hope everyone and their fishes are safe and well! A little update:- I finally moved into my new home and i have dedicated a room for my fishes! So excited to finally have my very own fish room! Over the past few months i have grown attached to mollies. For the moment i have finished setting up my 6 tanks in my fish room. 1 community tank with 5 tetras and 11 adult mollies (4 male black mollies & 5 female assorted mollies & 2 male assorted mollies). 2nd tank is occupied by 4 angels. 3rd is occupied by a blood parrot. I have dedicated the remaining 3 tanks for my mollies (I will eventually sort the mollies that i have in the communtiy tank according to gender into the 3 tanks when the baby mollies grow up). 1 tank for males. Another for females. And the last one for babies. I currently have around 50 baby mollies. Now i noticed that my male black mollies are ignoring the female assorted mollies. The biggest male black molly is chasing the 3 other smaller black mollies trying to mate with them. Will black mollies mate with assorted mollies? I hope my black mollies will eventually mate with my assorted mollies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PineSong Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 With five female mollies, I would expect that you will soon be knee-deep in mollies. Sometimes it takes fish a while to settle in before they start delivering 50+ offspring every 30 days, but in my experience with livebearers, they always get there eventually!

ScandiDefense Posted November 9, 2023 Author Share Posted November 9, 2023 Thanks for the reply! Knee deep in mollies! That would be awesome!!! 😁😁😁 A little update - the males have started chasing the females around this morning. But the male black mollies are still keeping to themselves...
