white mollies not multiplying

 All 5 are still doing well. 1 out of the group was an outcast for some time, but now they are more of a family. The plus side is that they love the hair algae, even more than all the types of fish-food I have been giving the pond inhabitants. They are constantly nipping at the walls and have reduced that type of algae significantly.

The down side is that they haven't reproduced. Actually I think they may have... I spotted a fry that was slightly lighter than the rest of the guppies, and its shape was shorter and fatter. But none have made it to adults. I suspect they stand out more than the grey guppy fry, and therefore would be an easier target for the climbing perch

White Mollies

I gave up on rearing bigger edible fish. I couldnt bring myself to eating them. So now the plan is to keep prolific breeders. The existing guppies have a stable population. The perch arent multiplying coz there are only 2 left, probably the same sex. Added 5 white mollies. I have had experience with mollies in my indoor aquariums before and know that if they survive the first week from the aquarium shop, they will start to breed. They are live bearers just like the guppies. 

Guppies are dark and blend in well with the aquatic plants, enough to survive the early growth stage. The white molly fry may not be able to hide as well as the guppies to survive the adult climbing perch. I am hoping that there are enough hiding places that some make it to adults. 

19Jan2021 update: crossed the first hurdle and that is all 5 survived more than a week after getting them. The perch dont seem to be bullying any of them which is good.
