Pregnant black molly with orange male???

[littlesonshine]

I am fairly certain that our black molly is pregnant as she has gained a fuller figure recently. The males that I have in the tank are an orange and white speckled molly and an orange and blueish grey colored platy. I was wondering if anyone has had these two colors breed together and what color the fry end up being. I am pretty sure that these are our baby makers because she has been at our house for over a month and didn't get big until recently. Also any help on how far my black molly is would be appreciated.

genetics its hard to say..... some will look like the mom and pop

there will probably be quite a few speckeled ones...maybe even some silvers.

Have you had the girl a long time? If not, what color were the fish in the tank she came from? Mollies can carry sperm for months.

These are just colour varieties of Poecilia sphenops crossed with P. velifera. They interbreed freely. None of these colour varieties exist in the wild.

some will look like pop but most will look like mum

No I think you will have a mix of O B looking ones and mostly black with a red tint. Had one do the same and they came out like a blood red and as they grew up turned more black with red tint. Blue light a must
