So I read in many places mollies can have babies up to three times after breeding once with the male.
No big deal, I knew they were coming and prepared :)

However...she's had five broods and is getting fat again.

There are no males in the tank except some babies who's gender I can't tell yet.

My other females aren't pregnant and haven't had any babies.

So is this normal or is there something weird going on?

Seven moths is clearly written in many places!
Some can hold back for months and shoot again if they never find a male again.
Nature at its best! The female livebearer.
 
Haha well she is definitely a very happy girl then :D and the babies are a meat copper color with yellow bellies and black streaks in their fins, so I'll take them haha! Thank you :)
