Answer
Hi Jessica

Sailfin Mollies can produce 10-150 fry, depending on age, size, and how many births she's had. The gestation period for Sailfin Mollies is approximately 3-4 weeks, depending upon temperature and water conditions. One female may give birth multiple times for up to 6 months to a year after one mating.

Hope this helps, good luck!
