Question
can a guppy give birth then a few days later have more?she looks as though she  is about to pop again.How do you tell when mollies are going to have their babies?

Answer
Hi Jody

Both Guppies and Mollies can have fry for up to 6 months after one mating, and usually have them once per month over a few days.

Most all female Mollies are pregnant. Knowing when the Molly is about to have her fry can be difficult. If she looks like she's about to pop, then birth is likely soon.

Hope this helps, good luck!
