Ian the water I used was from 5 gallon bottled water. Not tap water. Uh oh. Could that be it?

IAN helppp... My cream Molly, the other pregnant one, was found laying on the bottom of my big tank. Her fins look almost like they were nipped at. I moved her to my small tank by herself... I took a few pictures. Here's one, let me know of you can see anything wrong with her from the picture or...

I don't think she aborted... Mine took a while, even gave off two fry and then waited about 2 weeks to have the rest. Keep a close eye on her. Look for her hiding out in one spot. Actually, Ian, what do you think? He's who I turn to for advice.

And I suppose that fry IS big. They are a couple of days old... Growing so fast...

Wow there is so much I have to learn. I am gradually changing the water out each day. My friend was the aquatic tech for petco and he is helping me with testing my water. But I need to learn myself and the only way I'm going to do it is to learn myself. So ANY and ALL advice from you is welcome Ian.

I meant my other dalmation Molly is acting weird... Stupid auto correct... Not tune... Ugh.

And btw, my other Dalmatian Molly is a tune weird. So I put him in my other tank. For observation. What's going on? Oh and Ian... Thanks for all your help...

I mean change it in general. And I know what you mean by trying to take a picture. I managed to take one for you... But only one is in the picture.

Actually Ian, I COULD use your help. What is the easiest way to change out the water in my tank? And you still can't see your fry? With hardly anything in the tank? lol that made me laugh.

Well thanks Ian you put my mind a little more T ease... At least I know it's not just me... She was a good mama though. Protected her fry... As for luck with snapping the pics of the fry, thanks! lol I'd like to know how many there are...

Ian as soon as they peek out I'll post some pictures. But there's some upsetting news; I found the mama this morning dead... I can't figure out why either... She was fine. Any suggestions? I'll keep trying to take pictures of the babies.

My fry are in the tank with the rest of the fish. There are SO many hiding places they aren't in any danger. And they are getting so big so fast!

Well Ian, I tried to count, however, it turned out to be more challenging than I anticipated. I'll keep you updated as I see more sets of eyes. I'm waiting for my cream Molly to have her fry now... That's going to be a lot of sets of eyes looking at me...lol.

Had her fry... There are bunches of little sets of eyes peering out from all over the place... :-)

I added some more rocks that I collected from thus desert... Arranged them so there would be plenty of hiding spots for the lil ones... And then I just sat back and watched them...

Thanks betta... I figured as much... I have another smaller tank that I'm going to turn into a fry tank. And will here shortly get a larger tank...

I am having a hard time determining the sex of my mollies and whether or not they're pregnant. There were 2 just TWO fry the other day and then they went bu-bye... Any help with this would greatly be appreciated.

Ian, again, thanks... I'm laying here watching my tank... Just hoping to catch a glimpse of some fry. Here's the strange thing though... A couple of days ago, I noticed 1 or 2 fry... But DEFINITELY 1... And then they were gone. But no more. I wish there was an exact science to this. But I guess...

Ian, hi, and THANKS for answering my questions... First, no the black Molly doesn't have white spots. It's just the picture. That one plant that I bought is SUPER bushy so there will be plenty of places for the fry to swim to there and there are ALL sizes if rocks from tiny to LARGE so they...

I carefully collected the large rocks from out here in the NM desert, washed a d treated them accordingly, added a few rare gems to the tank as well and chose an anime wood burning for the background. I was even able to find some perfect egg shaped rocks to add to the tank. My mollies are...

And I have a black Molly that's now hanging out in the bottom corner of the tank... All fat and trading water... I know I made plenty of hiding spots with various sized rocks, full, live plants and decorations and took precautions so that the fry wouldn't get sucked up into the filter. It's been...

I did put a piece of a new stocking over the bottom of the filter so the fry won't get sucked up into it.

They are sticking together, up and down the side of the tank. There were two fry at one point but they disappeared. I'm guessing that they got eaten. There's plenty of live plants and large rocks with tiny hiding spots for the fry. Any help would really be appreciated. I just would like to know...

I have a pregnant Dalmatian Molly and a pregnant Cream Molly... I was wondering, can anyone give me an idea of about how long it will be until they give birth? I have plenty of lush live plants in my tank along with LOTS of large and small rocks... I put a nylon over the filter so no fry could...
