Fry in the mosquito fish are going to be almost transparent while the molly fry may
already have longitudinal stripes. They will be stubby also compared to the Mo fry.
Catch a few and compare them. It will be easier once you see them side by side.
Be sure you have a splash guard under your bulbs. The male mollies have a very
splashy mating dance. Given enough food and room to swim, the females can get 4.5"
and the males 4" and they aren't as picky about water conditions as store bought mollies are.
