Molly went missing...

Congrats on your growing aqua family although I would recommend for you to separate your fishes if you do not wish for the population of your fishes to multiply drastically in days. I once kept a couple of fishes and within weeks, they were producing baby fishes at the same rate as a musician pulling rabbits out of a hat. It was interesting and definitely thrilling to see new life spawned every week and it was fun separating all the fishes into different tanks.

I hope that you can get a larger tak to put your fish in as each month, the female molly will give birth to more babies. Even if there is no males in with her, she can store sperm from one mating for several months and give birth about once a month until the sperm is completely gone. If you have any male babies, they can mature in enough time to mate with their own mother or sisters. Good luck with your growing family.

I really enjoy tropical fish, as they really reduce stress watching them. Good luck and hope your no longer having lots of babies. I use to have Mollies, but my local stores wouldn't give me store credit for the babies, so I'm now enjoying Catfish.

The size of Balloon Mollies makes them popular as aquarium fish. They are lovely to look at and brood in large numbers. Some aquarists use the little fish as feeder fish which pet lovers deem to be cruel. There are different types of mollies depending on what one likes. They however have a short lifespan.
