They say if you take sperm pills it increases your sperm volume by 500%. The reason they can give you so much more sperm is because of a unique blend of ayurvedic medicine that has been used as an aphrodisiac as well as to treat male infertility for thousands of years.

When regular or sailfin female mollies find out that a male molly has done this, she is more likely wanting to breed with him.

I have to ask if we should be trying to prevent the extinction of these species. While I agree that we should definitely do everyything we can to not cause the exticntion of any species, the process of natural selection provides for the inception and extinction of species all the time. If these (asexual) species usually only last 20,000 years, then clearly they are still coming into existence. People are so concerned about us playing God when it comes to genetic manipulation and the creation of new species. Is that any worse than playing God to preserve a species that nature has chosen for extinction?

If they require sperm from a close relative for egg development, then how can they be considered "asexual"? Are the offspring truly "clones" of the mother, or is their DNA different from their mothers? If, as the article says, there is DNA LEAKAGE, than I would argue they are probably not ASEXUAL, because some of the"father fish"'s DNA is being exchanged to make up the new daughter fish....
