It was when i woke up and flipped on the lights in the tank and noticed a little flitter dive into the gravel, upon closer inspection i saw it was fry so i busted out my breeder box(so glad i picked one up a few days ago after noticing my male molly having his way with new tank mates) and scooped out all i saw swimming around and i got 10 lil babies total. im thinking one of the ladies i picked up from my LFS was already preggers but im thrilled, my first experience with fry and my creamsicle molly still looks like she is gonna pop hahah

i had a breeder basket in my sons tank but they take up toooo much room and get messy.

How exciting, fry are very fun to raise. Make sure you have a plan for what you're going to do with them when they are adults.

Depending on what color the fry will be, color shows up within 1-2 months. The darker colors show up first, then the lighter colors later. If they're going to be silver, they will likely just appear grey for awhile.
