Question
QUESTION: Renee,
How can I get my Mollies " in the mood "? And is there anything I can do to guarantee babies from my female dalmatian molly?

ANSWER: Make sure the tank is at 80 degrees F and give them live food.  They are in the mood soon as they mature. :)

QUESTION: Renee,
What do you mean by live food? Do you mean a-live food or not flake food? Like brine shrimp?

ANSWER: Hi Manahil,

Brine Shrimp contain no nutrients.  So, I don't mean them, but I do mean frozen bloodworms. They love those and they are good for conditioning them to breed.
