Ah..........well, I guess I need to brush up on my terminology, huh?

But really, what are they doing? Have I read something about the sperm being in the males mouth or am I on drugs?

Sounds liek some strong stuff......

Molly males sometimes help with delivering the fry. Ive heard of the male also defending the planted area where the fry hide...
Could also be the opposit eend of the spectrum where the male might be trying to eat the fry right when they get out!

But either way the action that your viewing is pretty normal of mollies (dont know squat about sword tails)

I've not gotten to see the actual fertilization process but I've seen them do their little dance. Its pretty funny to watch.
