How often do dalmatian mollies get pregnant? I'm a new fish owner and I...

[KimBree?]

...picked out mollies yesterday? When I got home, after searhing and comparing pictures online I have 3 girls and 1 boy. I don't want this boy any longer b/c my poor girls will be pregnant often right? How do I get this boy away from the girls? How often do they get pregnant? How long do they carry the baby? Any advice?

Hello, your local pet store should be happy to take back unwanted fish. Mollies must mature to sub adults before they breed, so you might find you still have a while before any babys appear.

The gestation period of livebearers is 28 days give or take a few days
they can have fry every month, and can have them for up to 6 months even without a female because they can store the sperm for that long
For that reason i usually recommend only getting males if you don't want any fry
other then that, there is not really anything you can do besides taking the male out to prevent having fry




Hope that hellps
Good luck
