Marble Molly Mating

This makes for a crazy successful breeding platform.

Marble molly mating.

One of the many options for keeping the fry safe from adults is to keep a breeding box in your fish tank. Dalmatian lyretail mollies breeding. A female sailfin molly fish will give birth to 10 to 140 live young molly fish but not at the same time. It s most distinctive feature is the large dorsal fin which is taller and runs from behind the head to just before the caudal fin.

If you plan on raising the molly babies to adulthood then you will have to choose from a couple of options to prevent the female molly from eating the newly born fry. Having a group of floating plants in the corner of your aquarium will promote rearing outside of the breeding tank. She will commonly gestate throughout a period of a year giving birth multiple times. They follow each other around and then begin to mate.

Just like the sailfin molly the lyretail stands out because of its fins but this time it s the caudal fin. The aquarium should be planted densely as possible or have a thick algae mat. Female sailfin molly fish are larger than her male counterpart and just like their cousins they do not lay eggs. Being livebearers they do give live birth to their babies.

Any molly fish can breed with another breed of molly. This variety is bred in lots of different colors and patterns. Any female can hookup with any male.
