I can see the ones on the side glass, are reflections...
but I would have always been happy with 25 or so per batch, 20 years ago, when I was trying to raise them in slightly brackish, as feeders for sea horses... the sea horses in those days ( mine were always the big ones ) would only eat live foods, and anything small enough for them to eat, would go into salt shock, & die, before they were caught... baby mollies, raised in brackish would live long enough, that the sea horses could catch them...
as feeders, I didn't have the best grade or largest mollies, but my normal, was closer to 12-15 per batch
