When a Molly is close to giving birth, you will see an obvious spot near her anal fin.
Just keep an eye out for fry.
Nature will decide when the time is right,
I breed mine in the tank with a cover of floating plants for the fry to hide in.
They give birth rvery 28 days.
You really need 3-4 females for each male. They chase the girls all the time.
Enjoy and dn;t stress.

You have to keep mollies at a ! male to 2-3 female ratio, or the females will be overbread and exhausted, and she could give birth to a lot of deformed fry, or still born fry. Or she could die.
You need to feed them a variety of healthy foods, keep them in a large tank 25 gallons or more, Keep the water quality high, The Ph should be 7.5 or evan a bit higher. Their should be salt in the water.
