my molly had fry 3 weeks ago and i've been told it can have fry every 2 - 3 weeks,is this true and should i put the molly in my breeder net

Hi there,
yes Mollies will deliver fry approx every
35 days on average.

I would not put your molly in a breeder net.
I have had nothing but bad experiences with
breeder nets, usually resulting in either
abortion of the fry by the mother, or
in the loss of the mother herself, after
refusing to deliver.
You would be better to allow her to deliver
in the main tank, and just save what fry you can find.
Provide a floating bushy plant and fry will
congrate in it making them easy to net.
Put them in your net breeder to raise them until
big enough to avoid being eaten.
