Posted	molly was swimming wierd!
09-04-2006 09:55 by kell	Yesterday she was swimming backwards, little short spurts, she was swimming forward most the time though, she was having babies and she had a poo hanging from her. Today she seems normal and half the size. Is this normal behavior do you think? Also is it six months she can store sperm(?) is it the same with all livebearers? Thanks Kell.

09-04-2006 18:36 by -Rob C-	I've read somewhere that certain livebearers only need to be fetilized once and can then keep giving birth til the day they die. Not sure if there's any truth in this though
10-04-2006 10:29 by kell	thanks for the reasurance, she isnt swimming funny anymore. I did know that livebearers store sperm, I suppose I can experiment with her, there hasnt been a male in the tank for about 3mths, and she has a litter(would you call it that, or a school maybe) around every 5 weeks, her last one 8/4/06. Starting the test
