Could be any day now. It's hard to say how many you will have but you should expect a pretty significant number I would think.

Sounds like it could almost be time. Just make sure that the offspring and kept separate from the rest of the population. We had a black molly that gave birth (without us realizing). All of the offspring were cannibalized by the rest of the mollys in the tank.

Your mollie will actually find a place inside the tank that is secure w/ plenty of plant matter, and that is where she will have the fry. You should expect anywhere from 7-10 fry (baby). If you want to keep all of them alive I would suggest that you seperate them. Mollies will eat thier off spring, as will any other livebearing fish (platys, guppies, swordtails). Good luck!
