Pregnant Molly

[catfishkid]

My molly is indeed pregnant again.


I recently got her situated in this little mesh breeder box. It breaks my heart a bit to see her separated from the other molly in the tank (also the father of this batch) but it's for her and her babies' own good.




Had to attach it with a bit of tape but otherwise its all good.

I would only separate her when she is very close to birthing, which you should be able to calculate from the last batch. If she is showing no signs of stress then that's fine but if she is, I would release her....

Well I never knew she was pregnant (or saw her give birth) the first go around and she is getting big. Not the best picture i admit.

She will square off a few days before giving birth. I would pop her in then.

Okay, thank you for the advice.

No problem and good luck with her and the fry....
