Question
how old do balloon mollies need to be before they breed and will they inter breed with other mollies such as the sailfin molly

Answer
Hi Carrie,
I have bred mollies before and they dont take long until mature enough to breed.  I believe it is only a month to mature.  And yes your mollies will bred with the sailfin mollies.  All that will happen is some of the offsprings are plain, some are sailfins, and some have shorter sailfins that look like both of the parents.
