WAY to many mollies
Just an amateur here, not a breeder. HOWEVER....got way to many mollies. The just wont stop....last frys were by a black molly that had 65 ! These are 14 hours old 8/18 @ 2:50pm. Man, I got a 55 gal corner tank thats already full of fry...got white, black, white/black mix , brown and really pretty dark orange with black accents. Would like to trade for fish food or live plants. Snellville area near hwy124 and hwy 78 junction. The older ones are less than two months.

Yeah, them thar livebearers are like that. One of the 1st I began with were platies. I gave more away than I can remember and finally separated out the one remaining male from the females. I put him in a tank with only a small goldfish I'd gotten for some reason which I also cannot remember. I was super-noob then. It may have been to keep a plant-growing tank cycled, but I was so ignorant about everything, I'm not sure I even knew why. After the male platy had been harassing the poor platy females for so long, plus just not wanting to deal with any more platy fry, I didn't know what else to do with him. Within a week or so I noticed he was eyeballing the only-slightly-larger goldfish with the same leer he'd had with the others, and sure 'nuff - he began trying to breed w/the dagnabbed goldfish soon after. I did have some beautiful sky blue platies for a while, and if I could ever find any like them again, I'd consider getting some. But... unless I wanted to sell them (not even sure how rare they are now, but I couldn't find any a few years back when I wanted them), I just couldn't handle that many fry again. My Panda corys are bad enough! 🤭Lucky for them that I love 'em so much. I've never sold anything, aquatic fauna or flora, before, but one time I did trade some Pandas for plants. They got the better end of that deal, LOL.
