Might sound dumb... Is this balloon Molly 'squared off'?

[uelissa]

I've never 'bred' balloon mollies before, but I do breed guppies. I know that this balloon Molly is for sure a girl. Is she squared off? She's having trouble swimming. (Only in breeder tank for pictures.) and when do you think she will drop?

I cannot tell for sure but it kind of looks like it!

Haha I'm not sure, she's already soo huge (obviously because she's a balloon Molly) but she looks like she has a wide gravid spot if that helps!?

Yes she is ready to pop. Id say in a few days tops. You can see the gravid spot in the pic unless its poo

still hasn't dropped yet

Give her time. Try doing a pwc with 4 degree cooler water
