How long does it take for a silver molly to be mature? I have one that is a little less than 2 inches and I thought it was a female but today it's anal fin is more of a nub than a fin.

I guess my main question is when can you tell. If you can tell when they are much smaller then I am going to guess that my male guppies are nipping it. Thanks!

bettas can breed when they are 3 months old, but i have seen small sliver mollies around 1.3 inches (males) starting to breed with females. the sexual differences should be clear by then.
