Im so excited!!! i just got home from work and took a peek and i saw 4 babies!!! they are the cutest little things ive ever seen!!! mama is still pretty huge and is just chilling out near the bottom by some plants. how long does it take for her to have them all? its too weird too....we did a water change today and i put the same water from the community tank in the birthing tank, and i just put her in it less than 12 hours ago! talk about good timing!! im a first timer with babies so im pretty pumped LOL

i would decourate the tank so the fry could hide when adults are chasing them

i have it pretty well planted but they are the only ones in the tank. i have it set up so she could have them then i took her out. how many fry do mollies have usually? she only had 7 and 6 have survived. i thought there would be more. they are very healthy. they eat very well and are very active!
