They usually can at 3 months but it's not a good idea, so separate them if possible for a few more months. Young fish can have problems with birth so most breeders try to hold them separate until they are 6 months old or so.

They reach sexual maturity anywhere between 1 month and 6 months. The less mature mollies will give birth to only 10 fry at a time..while the more mature females can give birth to up to 140 fry.

They reach sexual maturity at 3 months.
I wouldn't advise breeding fish of the same batch.
It usually ends up with sick fish.

They should be able to breed when they are 6 months old.

If they are of different sexes it probably won't be long. They are prolific breeders.
