Did you know she was pregnant? And how did she act before birth? I have two balloon mollies I think could be pregnant...just not sure

They get really really fat and look almost square. When it's getting close, her gravid spot will turn black. With my guppy, when it was getting close to time, I took her out of the guppy tank and put her in a small fry tank to have them.

My problem is my molly is black so it's really hard to tell when her spot is black lol. I've placed her into the nursery regardless just in case. I figured that is the best thing for her?

 

[BettaGal]

Can you post a picture of her?

 

[daltonxj]

I got lucky picked her out at the LFS she was already in color and they didn't notice so i got her took her home and placed her in the tank waited a bit watched and then placed her in the hatchery tank..

she has a blackish color on the belly and in front of the tail area..
the belly is a square looking...

 

[Futurekitmiller]

Yes I will post her picture. Let me go take one lol

This is the first potential mom

Here is mama number two

Here is another of the yellow one. I think she is close?

 

[BettaGal]

She might be. If her butt is black kinda inside, she's close.

 

[Futurekitmiller]

I don't notice that but she is sooo big

 

[BettaGal]

She might be getting there.

 

[Futurekitmiller]

I hope so I'm getting impatient!

 

[BettaGal]

Lol. If you really want fry, put a male in with them.

 

[Futurekitmiller]

They've been with two males for 2 weeks

on the yellow one the tail area and belly area will get real blackish.....looks like it is all bruised up..

the black one not sure about.. the bellies also get a square shape from looking from the front of the fish...

 

[Futurekitmiller]

So you think the yellow one is preggers for sure?
