Hello!

My neighbor came over today to see my new guppy fry. He saw my female black molly and said that she looks like she has a boxed shape and pretty big. Is she pregnant? If so do you guys know how much longer until she drops the fry. He says she's going to give birth really really soon. I just want to make sure. I have some pictures but she moves a lot! So the pictures aren't going to be good.
Thanks!

I hope she has babies. They're really easy to care for. (I mean the fry) I fed minecraft hikari first bites and crushed flake food.


Aquariums make for a betta world. Wanna discus it?

im not 100% but its possible! fry can live off finally crushed flake food although the parents often eat them.

Yes, she is pregnant. No, she won't give birth really soon. Depending on if this is her first time or not she has about 1-3 weeks left.

Thank you guys!!! What does the white dot do? Or is it just there lol? I think the dot got bigger too so I called my neighbor and he came over and he said it did seem bigger so does that mean something? Is she okay?

It looks like pretty soon until she gives birth to 10-80 fry it all depends how big she is and how big the babies are.
 
Oh my! 80 babies! This is her first time so will it be smaller? She is like 1.5 inches of so.
