On one site I read 24 hours after giving birth, but other sites made that seem untrue. I just want to know when pregnant ones can get pregnant again? :huh:
 
i believe its every five weeks, for me my mollies gave birth 4 weeks after they last did.
 
I breed mollies and would be happy to tell you about breeding them. I've bred them for years.
 
my first gengeration i had 1 male 1 female(i no there should be more females) they had 16 babies in june and now i have 14 left. The first gengeration had more babies, but i had them in the comunity tank not knowing she was pregnant, i went on vacation and when i come home i see all my fish on the bottom i thought they were dieing, but i relized the female molly had babies and they were being eatin, i hope i have some left but i cant see any.
 
i have 10 or so platys. i just saw a fry today. going about catching him i see a smaller one and one that looks like it was just born. the one looked like she was going to have babys she just didnt look ready yet. luckly in my tank there is many spots to hide out. i also see people like to add new fish get rid of some of the older ones every couple gens of fish. good to have new dna here and there.
 
They pretty much said it all. It's that easy. Just send me a private message if you have any questions.
 
both molly and guppy make excellent food for carnivorous fishy :D
Used to feed babies to my butterfly fish.
