Livebearers have a "litter" approximately once every 40 days. One mating can result in as many as 7 litters - even if there is no male present in the tank after the initial mating.
10 fries is a very small litter!! My mollies had as many as 30 fries a time. My guppies and platys have around 40 a litter.
