i bought 2 female mollies and 2 male,same with swordtails,i have them now for 2 weeks and i dont see any matin

Answer 1

Chances are good that they were pregnant before you even bought them. Watch for them to be getting "bigger". In the meantime, if I were you, and i'm assuming you are "new" to livebearers, I would start doing as much research as possible on livebearers and how to care for them and fry when they are released......also research your options as to how you are going to let them release the fry.....in breeder nets, traps, naturally in the tank (most will probably be eaten by the bigger fish this way, but it's population control). Also, how long between fry batches, can they cross-breed? Everything that you should really know since you are now dealing with these fish. The more educated you are, the better off you and your fish, and your fry will be. If you go in to it blind, you get what you get, that's it. There is more involved then putting 2 fish together and wanting "babies". And you will more then likely never see them actually mating. If you do, you are a lucky one. Also, livebearers can have several batches of fry from just one encounter with a male. Meaning if you decide to "stop" having fry, you can expect to have up to 6 batches OR MORE prior to the activity stopping (from the time you take the male(s) out). Knowledge is power, and if you really enjoy your fish, you're going to want to give them all the best chance possible. Be patient, pretty soon you're going to have more fry then you know what to do with.
Good luck!!! ;o)

Answer 2

They'll mate eventually. Just feed them a variety of foods, mixing it up from pellets, flakes, freeze-dried, frozen, live, etc. If you have a heater in the tank, try and increase the temperature by 1-2dF. And once they acclimated and been conditioned, then you'll probably start seeing something. If you don't want to get another tank, just get decorations/plants so when they start having babies, the babies will have something to hide and so that not all of them will be eaten by the bigger fish in the tank.

Answer 3

you could tell Them known The adult males Anal Fin Is at modern around the female are Faned Out If U Have a woman and male u would desire to get a fish breading internet reason the mummy and pop consume them If U r a newbie its no longer sturdy to reproduce them Molly's lay fry (stay toddlers) Its a three-4 week preanetcey

Answer 4

You most likely wont see them mate, just watch the females belly, it will get bigger. Then put her in a baby tank to catch the babies. Also your mollies will mate with your swordtails and vice versa.

Answer 5

Hey!- These are not toys you're playing with, here! Even Mollies need time to get to "know one another" and "get in the mood"!!! And they're certainly NOT going to "do it" with YOU hanging over the tank & watching every move! -They probably think you're going to grab them at any moment & EAT them- or something!!! :0 So cut them alittle "slack", leave them alone a bit- & see what happens. Babies come- when babies come.... :)

Answer 6

2 weeks isnt enough

you need at least 2-3females per male if you want babies.. also put in plants fake or real so they feel encouraged to make babies also an aerator and raise the temperature about 3-4 degrees

Answer 7

You have to give them time. They need to acclimate to their tank, other fish and new enviroment.

Be patient
