Hey everyone, new here and new fishkeeper.
I have my first pregnant molly now, Joyce, the gold dust.
I isolated her in a 5 gallon today because she looks close to birth, within a week i'm guessing.
She's been in the 5 gallon all day today and doing pretty well besides being a bit frantic. I just noticed that she is frantically swimming around the tank, and has very labored breathing. In other words, breathing very heavy!!
She is normally in the big tank with 3 other mollies, but I isolated her because she looks close to birth.
This is my first time breeding any fish!
Someone, I need advice. I don't want her to abort the babies, but if I put her back in the big tank and she gives birth the fry will all get eaten!!
I also isolated her because my 1 male refused to leave her alone-
gonna do a small water change. maybe 30%
