My molly is finally giving birth! - Aquarium Advice

**Zagz** · 06-22-2005, 12:04 AM

After what seems like forever, one of my pregnant mollies is giving birth. She is hiding out at the back and is definately in labour. I am so excited!!

very cool!

Congrats...soon you will be hearing the swish of several dozen little pectoral fins.

Congrats!!! Although you may lose some, if not all of the fry to your tetras...

Ah, it's probably for the best......after all, you don't want 30 new fish every couple of weeks now do you?

Just thirty?

I was thinking about 45-65 per spawn.

@___@ yeah mine keep having around 30 something each time...*eyes at Slider and Dez* *hugs my 4 pregnant female mollies* I know it's their fault...

Congrats Zagz! It's good to hear that the load has "dropped".

Congratz! She's got a lotta babies hidden in there, make sure to watch her give birth, cause it's cool. Molly babies are so cute! My albino molly was old and had one last batch b4 she died. About 15 babies were kept, the rest i let get eaten. They're almost full grown now
