Caryl Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 Sexing mollies is easy and the same as for other live bearers. The male has a modified anal fin called a gonopodium. Mollies pretty much breed wth no help from you and will happily eat their fry too. They like a little salt in the water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
