Mollies are livebearers. I keep my livebearers (platys usually) in a 1 male to 2 female ratio. If they're happy and healthy they should breed in time. Make sure there's somewhere for the fry to hide out in the tank if you're planning on trying to rear them in your display tank.

theres plenty of hiding spaces in my tank so the should survive.

my tank is full so i cant get another female so its only on a 1:1 ration atm. hope fully i will have sum babys soon.

i am thinking of getting a small tank where the fry can be and if i get to many i can then seperate parents between 2 tanks

many thanks for your reply

p.s anyone got a picture of a pregnant one cos mine might be but im not sure
