She looks very close, do you have a breeder tank or breeder box?

 

[kiddomagic]

yes, yes, I do. (breeder box)
its actually already set up in my tank, and I'm waiting for her to get a little bigger so I can move her there.

 

[Somethingclever]

I would do it soon. I had to put my molly in it for a few days then BAM woke up to fry

 

[kiddomagic]

I was actually going to put her in it this morning, but I felt like I should wait for tomorrow though.
how long can she stay in there if she doesnt get the babies soon?

 

[Somethingclever]

Ya know i have no idea and i have asked the same question and gotten no answer. What i did was put her in there for a couple days and if nothing i put her back in the tank. If she started wiggling funny or keeping to herself i'd put her back in the breeder net.

 

[kiddomagic]

she's been hanging around at the back of my tank, usually just laying down.
and she's starting to swim close to the gravel.

 

[Somethingclever]

I'd put her in it today and watch her IMO

 

[kiddomagic]

this is my tank,
and my breeder box.





my breeder box is like that cos' so when the babies come and fall into the chamber, they can hide in the small plants I put in.
and those stones, are ACTUALLY supposed to weigh down the plastic vent thing cuz it floats sometimes (x
but it could work as decor too.

 

[Somethingclever]

I wish i would have bought that one instead of the breeder net i got. Nice set up though.

My guppy looks close aswell so I thought I'll put her in the plastic breeding trap thingy then I made it totally dark so she can relax. Now its a waiting game

 

[kiddomagic]

thank you.
I just put her there about 5 minutes ago.
she looks quite stressed...
I put in some stress coat and just let it mix.
hope she gives birth sooon!

should I turn the light off?
my wallpaper is complete black, and when I turn it off right now, it looks INSANELY dark.

 

[kiddomagic]

THE HECCCK?!
she escaped my breeder box!
UUUUGH
well, I'll try it again tomorrow... -____-

 

[Somethingclever]

My black molly just gave birth to 17 fry, a couple died though

 

[kiddomagic]

caught her and placed her in there.
so lucky it went fast and non-stressful.
she doesnt look "squared-off", but I see the little babies eyes.
getting darker and darker everyday.
I'm going to leave her in there for a few days.
HOPING!
