I meant to say stress not streets

This has happened to me before it is usually a sign of streets on the mother. But so long as it still looks like she is still carrying more then she probably is. I would check your water peramiters to see if that is what is stressing the mother out.

Okay that works to I just have all ways been a fan of birthing traps. Good luck when she gives birth

Am soon going to start up a 38 gallon aquarium and I cannot decide on what kind of live bearer to chose. I already have 1 balloon Molly from my old aquarium, so I am trying to decide if I want swordtails, mollies, or guppies. Is one easier than the other? What are your recommendations.

To answer your question she is very close if you have a birthing trap now would be the time to put her in it

Angel fish are aggressive when kept in large number so the idea of just 2 or 3 is a good one. As for good tank mates you definitely want medium to large fish anything to small will get eaten. I would suggest a Cory or African dwarf frog.
