Why does do guppies loose there black spot when put in a breeding box?

This usually means that the fry have already been born. If the fry were born in the tank itself, you might not notice them at first, but they are probably hiding somewhere. If the fry were born in the breeding box and you don't see any now, the mother could have eaten them.

No, what you are actually seeing when looking at the gravid spot is the eggs inside the mother fish. The gravid spot does not go away until the mother has given birth to her young.

I believe some, and the spot you're referring to is a gravid spot.Mollies, unlike guppies, don't have as much transparency to their bodies as guppies do and might not show a gravid spot (but they do have them all the same).Mollies plump up a lot when pregnant as well, it will defiantly be noticeable.You can also check the sex of the fish as well; if the anal fin (the one at the bottom of their bodies) is long, "pointed" and usually kept rolled up close to their bodies, it's a male, if the anal fin is rounded and "fan-shaped", it's a female.
