black mollie babies

[the returner]

hi , can anyone tell me seeing as how ive never kept black mollies before . when the babies are born , are they black or does the colour develop over time ? might sound silly but you never know unless you ask ! )

Depends on how far she is pregnant, they get really big towards the end, usually get moody and hide in plants before they give birth, only had platys fry they devolope there colour over time.

I'm pretty sure Black Molly fry are born black.
