What are you doing with the fry? How many fry do you have now?

 

[senorkevin]

I have about 15. I was going to keep a few to start a guppy tank and rehome the others. Can I keep all females so they won't breed? I assume only males will fight

 

[GreenLily]

You can keep males with other males with females as lomg as there are 2-3 females for every female.... IF you want to become a granddad to a billion more!

You won't be able to sex them for almost a year. I've had Molly fry 6 months and still can't sex them

Haha yes i am just starting with 5 baby molly fry myself. I thought i heard 6 months for mollies? Yes, it could depend how many times you feed a day and what you feed

For the first 3 months I fed hikari fry (has another name but I'm to lazy to go check) and then jumped them to api mini tropical sinking pellets which they love to death!!! I don't feed anything else but that and still nothing. I'm waiting for them to get a bit bigger before I move to newer foods

Are those your fish?? Those kinda look like a guppy...? And why white? What kind of color should they have?

It says they are half grown at 6 months and you can sex them at a year old. The mollies are also full grown at a year old. With guppies you can sex them at about 3 months and they are fullgown at 6 months
