My molly is pregnant, when will she burst? - Aquarium Advice

So I bought some mollys because I hear they make babies very easily.

So one of them is pregnant and she looks like she is about to explode.. so how long do I have before this happens? and should I put the babies in a small breeder?

Depending on what else is in the tank and whether you have lots of hiding spots will dictate whether or not to put the fry into a breeder tank. How long do you guess her to have been pregnant? Usually mollies are around 28 days for birth. If it is not a black molly her gravid spot will become quite obvious and as moms mentioned she will become more square at the back end.
