Who Is The Dad?

Paradise: My molly is also working off a repository as it were. There has been no male contact for MONTHS and she has had two batches of fry so far. I'm expecting more. Hoping against hope that she's done, but I won't be surprised if she has more. And more!

 
As I said, it's been about 7-8 months since separating my male off and I think my females have finally cycled out! But mine are platies, not mollies. I never really kept my mollies separated long enough to "test" their abilities..

Well, it came down to it. Molly-mom showed signs of incompatibility with the water. She did the shimmy thing. It was unmistakable. I gave her and the babies to a very nice person who keeps mollies and who has harder water. I'm sad, but I have to put their well-being first.
