i have three balloon mollies and they mate ALL the time, but i never see fry!! its driving me crazy because everything else in the tank breeds like crazy and they never seem to give birth. i've tried breeding nets, salty water, low light, high light, plants, small spaces, large spaces, and anything else i can think of (berry white even!!) and... nothing, no babies. there are two females (i added another in hopes that if the male was distracted with one, the other one could give birth) i know its not the male because we've had fry with him befor but after he lost his mate, no more babies.
could he be lonely?
do i need to try another female?
could they not be able to have babies?
ive also seen him "biting" at my females sexual organs, is that normal? Could he be eating them while they're trying to be born? maybe the other fish are throwing off hormones?
i dont know. im at my wits end. help me figure it out!!!
