Go ahead and tell me a little bit about your fishies and their home.
How many mollies, how big they are, any other fish, relations with the other fish, tank water parameters, temperature, etc.

Thumbs up

They definitely look healthy!
The thing with mollies is they're like lions... They're supposed to have one male to many females, otherwise the female is always stressed by the male never leaving her alone. Minimum you want is one male and two females; that's what I have and they are pregnant CONSTANTLY.
I'd try putting in one more female and see what happens.
Do you know what the temperature of your pond is?

Wink

What you have are called Gold Dust colored Common Mollies, due to their rounded dorsal fins.
You can breed literally any type or color. They intermingle. In fact when you do breed them, you will find yourself with babies of all different colors that may not even make sense.

Talking

I have one black short-fin molly and two white short-fin mollies, and my babies were Dalmatian, white, and wild colors.

Yes, please do! I'd love to hear how they do!
