Re: breeding fish

Another nice thing about mollies is that they very rarely eat the newborn, even compared to other live-bearing fish. The downside was that they didn't reproduce very quickly compared to guppies and swordtails for example. The offspring are relatively large, if you got 10-15 young from a molly, you could get three times as many from a swordtail.

I didn't keep them in any kind of salt water either, but I only kept them for about 6 or 7 years.
