Breeding livebearers is not a hard task, keep the water clean, at a steady temp, feed well and they will do their own thing. I do recommend getting another female Molly that way your male won't stress out the two females too much.

Once you get them going its hard to stop. The hardest part ( which is still pretty easy) is catching and caring for the fry. You may consider trying to add some bushy plants ( real or fake but real plants can feed fry that hide in them) some of my favorites are java moss and anacharis

Step one get mollies
Step two - wait (or get pregnant mollies
Step three - become stressed out trying to find homes for all the fry.

Lol this is pretty funny.
To tell if one is pregnant when you buy it, look for a gravid spot. It will look like a dark triangle on the underside of them. If they have this, theyll be giving birth soon, that's the babies in there!
Mollies have the ability to store sperm. That way the only need to encounter a male once and they can have broods just about monthly. Be careful, they are a hassle to get rid of, some lfs won't even take them..
