Recently I bought a black balloon molly from the pet shop and added it in my tank with a white molly in it previously. I realized she got pregnant soon after but today she gave birth and the babies came out whitish-blackish well kind of like a light coffee color. So what I am wondering is if they might have cross-bred?

Well another question I have is will some turn out like normal white mollies and some balloon mollies?

Im not sure what you will get, but i know most live berrerd can stor sperm, so it mat be your other fishes fry, it may not. they can cross from what i know, so can platties and mollies, i think. so good luck with the fry and let us know how things turn out

They don't breed externally, they need sperm from male fish in order to breed.

It's still hard to tell what type they are but they are as cute as a button! The other day I was at a pet store, I netted a poor little black molly fry who had survived in the tank<3 And today I purchased two baby balloon mollies. I found out that the pet store was making a nursery for the fry which they probably had a million because the guppies tank had like 50 fry in it.
