What size tank do u have. Is it planted. Will u just have the breeding pair of mollys. Is it community tank? And there not very profitable fish to beeed. I give my mollys away for free to friends

If your 10g is cycled and ready to go you should allow the female to give birth in the 10g. When she's finished giving birth put her back in the 29g and allow the fry grow big enough in the 10g. You could try sell them once there big enough.

The best way to know if they are worth breeding to make money is to contact your local fish shop and see if they are willing to buy them from you. If they aren't, you may want to reconsider. When breeding fish, you really should be setting up selective pairs or trios. Mixing and matching mollies will not give you any 1 type of fish and could possible just give you deformed unsellable fish.

Hope this helps(y)
 
Yeah that's why I just got the Sailfins in there the trio and the butterfly Molly is in there to but I'm not keeping the fry from her

And when my Sailfin gets ready to drop the fry I'm putting her in the ten gal then back in the 29 gal when she's done
