Question
we think our class fish tank has 2 ready to have babies. (1)mickey mouse and (1) molly redish-orange in color. The molly is young about 3 months old. The mickey mouse came from the pet store. They both have large bellies and getting bigger. What do we do and how do we tell what's really going on.
Thanks for your advice,
Highschool classroom

Answer
Hello Highschool,
hhmmm, mollies and platies can not breed. As far as i know the only breed of fish called a micky mouse is a platy, and i researched on the internet about it and found nothing. Perhaps your feeding them too much? Mollies i know just breed among themselves. Sorry and Hope This Helps
