I have been breeding my mollies for quite a while now. I have heard many place that they gobble up their fry really fast...I believe it. I recently had two pregnant mollies and they were both ready to drop. I know many people don't like to do this, but I separate mine a week or two before they drop. The two were in separate tank from each other as well as from the main tank. They dropped sometime last night. Well one of the mollies is famous for eating her fry...I've maybe gotten 3 from her in the past. Sure enough....all she left me was one dead fry. The second one doesn't really eat her fry (thank god!) but she has a problem with still born. Sure enough...today there were about 7-8 fry....only three were alive but two don't appear to be doing well. So after all of that...I will most likely only end up with one little healthy fry...he/she will be very well taken care of! I do have other molly fry that are currently living happily with my many guppy fry...let's hope they are very fertile later on!
