Baby Silver Molly

I found one baby a couple of weeks ago. He's getting bigger and stays with the other fish more and more. My question is, how many fry do they usually have at a time and how often?

Mollies can have a lot of fry; 60 or 70 isn't unheard of, but younger, smaller females have less.

They do like to eat their own fry though, so that is probably why your not seeing many.

Females give birth about every 30 days, but it can be a bit longer or shorter, depending on the temperature.
