Extra Info
Black Mollies are
easy to breed and will breed often as long as the GH level is correct.
As always put many plants
around the aquarium (in the back and sides are best) because they need
secluded places to mate. (ALL FISH ARE SHY!) Though it is hardly uncommon
to have 8 to 10 fry at birth it is also possible to have as little as two
or three. Make sure there is enough food when the fry arrive because if
they start to starve they WILL eat each other. About the day or
so before the fry are to arrive remove all fish from the tank EXCEPT the
mother (duh). These fish will breed more often when there are many fish
in one tank. So far all of my Black Molly fry have different mothers but
all have the same father.
