female molly

[little fry]

MY mollie had a batch of mollie fry about 3 weeks ago and she didn't look fat after that she was supper skinny and then after she had the babies i put her back in the normal the normal tank which has to platies in it one female one male. After about one week she looks pregnant again and i was wondering if a platie and molly can bred. I don't know anything about them except how to take care of them. But i don't know anything about breeding them. when she had her babies i bought her from the store pregnant. But she has 9 very healthy babies. i was just wondering if those two can bred. B)

yes they can breed they are livbearers that can give bisth about every 3 to 4 weeks and can store sperm for about 6 months so yes it could be them

Platties can't breed with mollies - different species. However, mollies can store sperm and delay pregnancy, so it is entirely possible she's pregnant again.

Thanx that helps . how big does the tank have to be for 9 fish?

probably a 30 gallon if you're planning on growing them.
