Hi all mollies will be quite easy to breed as they are from the livebearer family. 1 male to 3-4 females should do the trick.

Hope that helps

To have good success with mollies I have found it best to keep mine in high pH, hard water and fed them a diet heavy on plant matter. The easiest way to do that is to get some algae flake food and alternate it with the regular foods. Plants are a good idea in any livebearer tank if you have enough light for them. If you have very limiting light, you can still get java moss to survive and grow. I swear the clumps in my unlighted tanks are growing from just the room light. A larger tank of at least 15 or 20 gallons is needed to have healthy happy mollies but a much larger tank than that is needed if you want the mollies to achieve their full growth potential. Storm's idea of a single male and a small harem is not a bad way to go unless you have a lot more room than most of us do.
