Best Answer

No, mollies give live birth. If you think your molly may be about to have babies, you may want to separate her from the other fish. There are small containers at the pet store. You can put her in it and place the entire thing back into the aquarium so she is still in filtered and aerated water. If she is not separated, the other fish will eat the babies or they will be sucked into the filter.

Yes, they do give live birth. The fry will be small enough to be eaten by their own mother, so transport them into a different tank right away. Feed them crushed/finely ground high quality flake food, or feed them baby brine shrimp/infusoria, which is preferable. Well Im pretty lucky then because all of my baby mollies survived the adults...
