I'm new to breeding plates and I know they're very similar to Molly Breeding, which I'm very familiar with. I have 5 female mollies in rotation... Every 6 wks or so...
My male Molly got a girlfriend for Christmas... Her name is Trixie.. (seemed fitting for a mate)
He's very gentle with her and doesn't chase her... They follow each other around and nudge each other... They are very playful and he initiates mating very gently. She'll stop and face him and he just stares at her and then one of them glides off or he bumps her and swims away... It's really sweet.. He's a lover
Very unlike my male molly who's a PIG and demanding! Even my male juvie mollies in my grow out tank are pigs... Those little guys poke anything female that passes! LOL
So, advice? Will I be able to actually see the babies inside her cause she's so see thru? Theyre both Gold Twinbar Platys.
I know live bearers are best kept in 3:1 But these guys seem to be good. (so far) if He starts stressing her I'll make other arrangements and move one to another tank, but all is well for now..
