Hi Harris, i hate trying to guess but i reckon no more than a week. How is she reacting to the breeder???I just got her today knowing she if going to have fry. Molly!! I've been breeding guppies but this is my 1st Molly that is prego.
But do you have any idea how far she might be? She looks ready to pop n I went ahead n put her in the breeder.

If she's calm in there then i would leave her, same idea as guppies really. When she squares off and stops eating, then she's ready. I really don't think it'll be more than a week. I know some people will disagree with keeping her in the trap for so long but she could birth sooner. I had a platy in a trap for a week, no problems...She doesn't seem to mind it. She very still all nightly at night. I hate trying to guess too lol. My 1st time breeding mollies even tho I got her already prego. Only places I have to go for my fish is pet smart or petco. We don't have any local pet shops even an hr away. Tear.
Your right, best of luck with it and i look forward to hearing about the 50 new fry!!!!I did the temp up 2 and I don't do my water changes till Friday and with me having other fish just started showing so I want to keep on same schedule.
Great news. Looks like you have at least 25-30 in there. If you've been breeding guppies then you don't need any advice with them. They are just the same really. I would recommend getting some Hikari First Bites, if you don't have it already. It's an excellent fry food...
WOW buddy, nice job. That's some amount of fry. I guess i was a little bit off with 25-30!!!. What's the future plan for them???
What about the next batch and the next and the next one!!!. Is there any chance your lfs would offer you credit for them??I have 2 55g not very many in the tank so going to kept some for each then my aunt is setting up a tank so I'm going to give some to her and then my cuz and a close friend of ours that is starting a 75g!!!
Only fish store I have is petco and pet smart. And i been searching and been up to 2 hrs away from home for a Lfs and haven't found one.
How old are they??Well the babies are doing good lost a few. Have 63 now. I was looking at their body and the anal fin and I'm 99% sure I don't have a single male Molly fry. Can that really happen??
