how fast do balloon mollies grow

[brookie]

my balloon molly had babies right before she died and the babies are almost 1 month old im not sure how big they are but when do you think they will be as big as the ones i see at the lfs

If you find out let me know!!!!!

I just bought some. Although they haven't had any fry yet, I know they will soon and I would also like to know the growth rate.

judging by the size of them i think it will be 6 months but i have no clue and i wanted to find out for sure

i think six months is about right, maybe a bit longer

I haven't bred mollies but I have bred their cousin the guppy. Guppies grow to almost full size in three months, at least mine have. I check my baby fishes growth compared to the size of guppies at the pet store and mine caught up in three months. I think mollies should be pretty similar. In species that live only a few years the growth rate is usually quite fast.

4 - 6 moths depending on food water quality and temp hope that helps
