What to expect when your fish is expecting....

[Michelle Maynard]

4 pregnant mollies, one pregnant guppy....oh god.


I thought my females had bullies....now I understand what....never mind.

Anyways.

Help?! I haven't breeded babies before and I am worried that they will be eaten. I have one baby dalmation Molly right now that was born on may 15...I had 3 but only the one survived unfortunately....

I don't know what to do! I got a 10. gallon for the one pregnant guppy who was in a lot of stress, and that was originally bought for only 3 pregnant mollies but I decided to keep them in my big fish tank...which is their home. I also got a two way breeding trap for the two who have open rings and square tummies right now. I fell bad that they are stressed but I don't know what to do...

Don't know your tank set up, but you need bottom structure such as plants live or plastic, rocks, not gravel, a flower pot what ever. I would include floating plants live or plastic as this will also help babies, fry, to hide and give the adults something to hold their attention. You can always get a rubber made container and set up a temporary tank for the youg until large enough not to be dinner.

Also doubt your fish are stress, just uncomfortable.
