Baby Fish. But Who's?

[mollymagic]

I finally got my fish on friday afternoon for my cycled tank of 54 gallons.

have got:

2 golden gourami (male/female)
3 male guppys
2 speckled mollies (male and female)
3 platies (2 male, 1 female not expecting on friday when purchased)
5 neons
1 cory
2 dwalf rainbows (male/female)
2 swordtails (male with long fin, a one without, is it female? not expecting on friday anyway)
1 coral dwalf gourami (female)

Saw the fry this morning, about 6 of them, not newborn size, about size of this row of dots ....
Where on earth have they come from?
any ideas? can only think of the mollies, but she wasn't fat.

I believe I have answered this elsewhere (or else I'm having a serious case of deja vu).

Could be any one of the female livebearers; they don't always show when they're pregnant; be careful with that gender ratio.

Oh, and congratulations on your babies!

Well done!

I doubt it was the mollies, they usually have bigger fry than that. also, what color is the fry? even fry of mollies, platties, and swords are usually a similar color to the parents. guppies however are born colorless

Now since I have second sight (or hallucinations, whichever), I can report that these fry are described as similar in colour to the mollies. Spooky, isn't it? Happy Halloween!
