New and need help

[Cazdeakin]

Hi all I'm new to this and need a little help. My silver molly is pregnant and keeps getting hassle of my male molly. I'm pretty sure she doesnt have long to go. I have horn wort plants in the tank ready. But really dont want the frys to be eaten. Can anyone tell me roughly how long she as to go. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Need help

Pregnant molly being hassled by male. How long left roughly before she gives birth. Thanks

Probably over a week still..
The angel will be the fry eater IMO..
Male livebearers are known pest to females which is why most stock heavy on the female side to split up the attention of the male...

Thanks. I have 3 female to 1 male but he's just hassling her at the moment. As I read they give a scent when birth is due and males know lol. Just thought she maybe due and that's why he's following her.

Note the day she births or looks skinnier and start the clock again....
23-28 days is average gestation.
