yea, mollies are fun really entertaining its cool to get a vatiaty of colors, there are silver, black, Dalmatian, creamsicle, gold dust and gold. i would get a black male or lyertail dalmatian male and a couple female that are silver or any other color you can find, make sure they arn't the balloon belly though. and the lyertail are cool, the females sometimes don't have the fancy tail but the offspring will. really think of a cool color combination that you want the fry in and tell me

I suppose I could move my milky to my spare tank and get a male and couple females lol that'd be neat

true but the mollie fry will be yellow, black, white gold with black or white with black (depending on the colors of the parents) and the platys will be red or orange

 

[agentamalia]

no, i have a blue one and my friend has a green, but you don't so the babies will be colored like the parents, my bule is my male my females are oranges(different shades) and the babies are orange with a bule sheen, it is very cool

 

[agentamalia]

So if I got a blue female I can have different colors

yes, if you got any color or fin type it would be a mix between the two parents.
