How do you tell if mollies are breeding?
Usually, a female goes vertical when she agrees to mate but I have noticed that the male mollies continue to chase the ones who are swimming away from them. Even if a female swims slowly it’s also the sign that she is agreeing to mate and allowing the male to chase her easily.
