Aquarium Advice Freak
Hi all, new to the site. Have a few questions for all of you fish lovers and for those who are veterans to my fish virginess...We have had a 10 gal tank since end of December, has been cycled, got some pretty bad advice from a local store when we bought our fish. We were not looking to breed, (my mistake up front by not doing more research) they recommended a hardy fish...(dalmation mollies) and said I should get 2 females and 1 male. We also got 1 mini clown pleco. All was doing well until one of my female mollies just keeps getting bigger and bigger. Obviously pregnant. Now, here I am scrambling to find all the info I can on them and realizing they are live bearers ( we got the fish for our 3 year old for his aquarium room and for him to learn the importance of a pet and taking care of something) I have received quite a bit of mixed feelings and advice, harsh words from other websites claiming to be support. I really just want some help in trying to understand what to expect from her to make it easier on her to deliver this fry. I tried the breeder net, she seemed very aggitated, I took her out. It seems like she has been getting bigger now for about 4-5 weeks. I keep hearing 28 days, some say 60 days, can anyone give me an answer on what to expect for this poor little gal? How is she going to act when she is getting ready, what can I do to make it easier? Can I make this come any quicker, induce labor...(just kidding, that is my L&D experience talking now)...if anyone can help or give me some kind words of advice I would greatly appreciate it!!!
