Hi Guys,

I have a question about my black molly.
She is eating quite a lot the last 2 weeks, and is getting pretty fat. She is the dominant fish in the tank, so she is getting quite a lot of food lately.

Im not sure if she is just getting fat because she is eating to much or she is pregnant. There is a male black molly in the tank aswell, so it might very well be possible.

Another question, she is getting pretty bossy since a couple of days, chasing the male molly around the tank (22 gallons). i am planning to buy another female as soon as my tank is 'quite' again (i'm treating some tetra's with Ick atm). Could this be because of her possible pregnancy, or is she just tired from the attention?

Thanks in advance!

Yeah so pregnant fish get really moody when males keep pestering them. She looks a bit pregnant, just keep an eye on her. If you don't notice her pooping then she it overweight and constipated.
