These fish are brought to our country from Central America (mainly Mexico, Colombia, and Venezuela), India, and Thailand. There are four varieties of Molly in our country.

Within 3 months of birth, they are suitable for adult reproduction. Adult molly fish give birth in optimal temperature and environment in any season. Temperatures of 60-70 degrees Fahrenheit are very good for their growth. At a very young age (1 week old) the male and female fish of Molly can be separated. In fact, there is no difference in the color of male and female fish. The difference is found in the physical constitution. The size of the male fish is much thinner than the female fish. There are also some differences in anal fins due to internal fertilization. The fins of the male fish change into genitals known as a monopodiums, and the fins of the anus of the female are as normal as those of other fish.

Many parents talk about different ways to save fish from the pond. For example, according to many, fish fry can be sheltered in marble places if there is a marble bed, but the problem here is that Molly's fry are very fickle in nature and they can swim fast from birth. Many people say that it is possible to save fried with broken earthenware pots, trees, or their branches but the problem mentioned above is also here. According to many, even if the plastic rope is cut one hand long and loosened in each bundle, the fish in the pond can take shelter there, but in this case, the big fish chases the fry and enters the rope and eventually, the fish gets stuck. He fell on the rope and died. This method is not very effective as the death rate is very high.

Groundwater is by no means as soft as pond water and it is important to keep in mind that fish that are farmed in soft water is more likely to get sick if they are kept in a little hard water. While in the pond, the fish eat a variety of foods from the pond water that is highly nutritious, such as different types of algae, infusoria, and different types of zooplankton.
