Not sure if my fish is pregnant it's a black Molly n it's belly has gone bigger overnight and it's in good health, I only have tetras in the tank with it, can it become pregnant by tetras? If so how many babies will it have as I only have a 19l tank!!!
 
Well actually if you bought your Molly from a store it was probably already pregnant. Mollies can store sperm so several months so that's probably how. Also mollies can breed with any other kind of Molly like Dalmatian mollies and that so no a tetra can not get her pregnant. But just make sure that your not over feeding them because that can be a possibility
 
Oh ya and it depends in how big her belly is. Their usually pregnant for 29 days but because there's no male in the tank expect maybe 3-10 unless she gets really big then exspect 10-30 out of her.
