I just recently got into Aquariums, been mainly into reptiles until now. When I was breeding Bearded Dragons and Leopard Geckos I really enjoyed seeing what color morphs I could come up with by cross breeding different color types. Which is what drew me to Mollies, being able to experiment with color morphs to make interesting morphs of your own.
First last Sunday I went out and bought 2 swordtail fish, a male and female.
On monday I went and bought 2 dalmatian mollies, unsure of the sexes, didnt ask for male and female. today I went and got 2 black mollies, male and female, and also 2 gold dust mollies, male and female.
First off, my male swordtail is chasing the 2 gold dust mollies around the tank, will this stop eventually or is he going to make my 2 mollies miserable? Also I am wanting all the advice I can get, maybe a good guide link on breeding my mollies. As of right now I know nothing about sexing or breeding them. I tried looking for a special fin to tell the males but it all looks the same for me. I can maybe post pics if I can get some good ones, been kinda hard with them moving alot.
this is what I think I may have
2 female dalmatian mollies
male and female gold dust mollie
male and female black mollie
and the non mollies are
male and female swordtail
2 dwarf frogs, unsure of sex.
This is all in a 10 gallon, will transfer to a 55 one I get enough money to add some caves and hiding spot to it and using fake plants. Considering I will be dealing with mostly Mollies, Swordstail and maybe Platy what else would be good tank mates and about how many fish total can I put in my 55 gallon?
