Huge Spawn
The last couple of days I have been chasing babies around my 35 column, tearing up my bunch plants in the process. I have a Black Lyretail Molly who mates constantly with a Dalmatian Sailfin. Her past fry have half to full lyretails, slightly larger fins, and are are most commonly black with silver on their bellies although some are lighter. She was way past due this time so I let her out of the breeding box.
Hah.
Two days later she gave birth.
I have about 30 fry in a net breeder now. I'll post pictures this afternoon, doubtfully with a full count.

I think she might still be spawning. I woke up and found 5 more fry. I hear that large adults can have up to a hundred.

Platys mollys and guppys.
I didn't intend to breed them. I just had a few of them (minus the guppys). Now I have at least 50.
