pregnate molly

Question
i bought a pregnate molly about 2 months ago. she is as big as a house now. i was wondering how long their adverage gestation period is and how many fry they normally have?

Answer
Hi Crystal

The gestation period for Mollies usually takes about 4 weeks, sometimes slightly longer.

The number of fry depends on the size, age and health of the fish. They can release anywhere from 2 - 60 babies, sometimes more. They can also give birth every 30 days for up to 6 months.

Hope this helps, good luck!
