Hi, I have a 20 gallon tank with 2 dalmatian mollies, 2 black tail platies and 2 albino cory catfish. I believe my dalmatian molly is pregnant. I have noticed over the last few days her belly is swelling and she is staying near the bottom in the corner except to feed. The male is kind of staying near her as well. I am a new fish owner and I am asking for advise.......1. How long is gestation? 2. Should I move her as the male to another tank? 3. When born I have read that my filter could suck the fry up....what should I cover the filter with? I don't even know what size fry are to know what kind of mesh would be helpful? 4. Any steps after the fry arrive that I should know?
I am just really thankful for any advise and education fellow fish lovers can provide. I want the little fry to live and I want to do it all right.
I would insert a picture but I don't know how. Thanks
