These guys were born August 12th, so they are 3 months old now...they grow up so fast! The mother is mostly brown with small amounts of orange, so the dad obviously had spots. I just think they are too cute! I'm hopefully getting a 75 gallon tank soon, so they can finally move out into a tank of their own. :grinyes:

Their mom just had another batch of fry this morning...I'm so used to these beasts that I forgot how tiny they started out as!

Starstruck,
Those are beautiful mollies. And your second photo is so clear!
I have mollies as well. Please correct me if I am wrong, but those do not look like sailfin mollies, they look like balloon mollies, am I wrong? I am just starting with this hobby, so I maybe completely wrong.

It took me forever to get these pictures. Their mother is a sailfin molly, and was in a tank with all sailfins so I doubt it. I took this picture at night after they pigged out on the shrimp pellets for the cories, hence the big bellies. :grinyes:
 
Awsome clear pics , nice, very nice indeed
