"Angel" my Molly is SQUARE!
My 6 mth old juvie Dalmatian Molly "Angel" is square!
I didnt notice until I was staring at the tank and noticed my male and her tumbling around and playing tag... A closer look revealed her vent wide open and protruding... And the bottom of her belly straight as can be!
I moved her out of the main tank and into the 20g with the rest of the preggo females and put my sponge over the intake.
There may be some fry loss but not ALL of them which is guaranteed with my betta and shrimp in the other tank.
 YAY! I'm exited! Angel is from my very first Dalmatian Molly...

I have 4 females and 1 male Molly
2 female Platies
2 platy fry i kept
Male betta
Female betta
Oto
Shrimp
Spread across 3 tanks
All my females are pregnant.
I don't have any male Platies... The females came from store pregnant.
I'm looking now to see how long I've had my new male Molly to see if these could be his babies or not... We'll see if we get any black mollies out of her..

Lol! Soon enough your babies will have babies. I just found a lone baby and I'm guessing about 7 days old in my 30 gallon I'm treating for ich  . So it's quarantined in a breeder net all alone. And it's not from twinnie my twin bar, so I'm waiting to see color on it

Nice! I had twinnie drop 24 babies and only 1 died the same day. The others are growing and eating properly so I'm happy. Twinnie is my favorite I can actually rub her head lol. Crazy fish!

My fish rush to my hands and rub against my fingers and sit nibbling in my hand... Pushing each other out of the way for top spot.
My fry do it within two weeks... It always takes one fry brave enough to touch me and not be hurt in the other fry's eyes..
This is only with my MOLLIES, not my Platies.. My mollies are very friendly... My Platies are shy...

Haha they send out a sacrificial lamb it seems. That's too cute. I'm still wondering where this mystery fry came from. I may have to call scion and the gang to solve this one

I can see her vent flexing! She's very squared off and I'm just waiting... Did a 25% PWC/gravel vac and fed bloodworms this morning... Heat up a couple degrees...
She's just hovering at surface very still....

Don't know.. She didn't get pregnant or use the sperm immediately... Last birth was Valentine's Day... Feb 14th. So don't have a day to count from....
Thought she was going to be sweet and hit every holiday this year.... Valentines day, St Patricks day, Easter, Mothers Day, My birthday (June)... But noooo. HAHA
