Question
Hi,
Is it impossible, unlikely, possible, likely or certain that my female Molly will still give birth?

I wanted to ask because the male died.

Answer
Hi Manahil,

I'm SO sorry you lost the male.  How sad.  I feel bad for you, because I know how much you truly love your fish.

It is very possible for the female to have babies without a male present.  She may already be fertile and if she is, then it is possible she will have the babies without him. :)

So, don't lose hope.  :)
