I'm assuming you are sking how long a Molly carries her young inside her for. If that is what you wish to know then the answer is "It varies depending on the conditions she is kept in. A female Molly (Poecillia sp) usually carries young for 3 to 4 weeks but they have been known to extend this period for several months when conditions are bad.

Mollys and other livebearers can hold onto their young for many months if conditions are not right for them. Under good conditions they can bear young each 12-14 weeks.
