What happens when your molly gives birth to a fish that does not look like a molly?
If your molly gives birth to a fish that doesn’t resemble a typical molly, it could be due to several factors, such as genetic variation, hybridization, or the presence of recessive traits. Mollies can breed with other species of the Poecilia genus, potentially resulting in hybrid offspring. Additionally, if the mother was exposed to different breeding conditions or tank mates, it could influence the appearance of the fry. It's essential to monitor the health of the unusual fry and consider genetic lineage when assessing their characteristics.
