Aquazone Says that Mollies are easy breeders, and they are if you have the GH level at least past 8.0
Ever since adding the gh plus to the tank to boost the GH to 8.0 I have had two pregnancies and very successful, with the average being 9 fry. I downloaded Super GH plus, made by another Aquazoner, Cause the default GH plus is way to little, you'll be up all night trying to raise that level, You can download it here or at the tools menu. My default lighting for all my fish is 9 on and 10 off. When you do the water change you must be careful of the gh level and use the super gh booster to get it up at least to 8,0.
