Default Mollies

I have had my mollies for over 3 weeks now. 3 female and 2 male. The female's have been pregnant FOREVER it seems. I want them to have babies already lol. What is the gestation for a mollie?

I believe all livebearers are 21-30 days. My Mollies push to the 30-day mark usually.

they can also hold their babies longer if they don't like the tank parameters. You can encourage them to birth by turning up the heat in the tank a bit, too...

Default Re: Mollies

what kind of Molley? would you happen to have a pic of this pregnant Molley>

I've got a Black Molley that was "plump" when I got it, and it's only gotten fatter since I've had it for almost a month... it looks like it's going to pop right now, but I don't know if it was just prego when I got it, or if it's just a glutton, lol

Sailfin Mollies. Unfortunately 1 died :( She looked the biggest too. The other ones have pop eye right now, so they are being treated. I hope it doesnt affect the babies. But after that I will take pics. I have some but not recent, so you cant see their belly. They are bigger but not plump.. I just dont understand it

Default Re: Mollies

well it turns out mine was just a fatty :P she's shrinking down now and leaving strings of feces all over the tank... I think she bloated up because she got a hold of some left over blood worms that my African Dwarf Frog didn't eat, lol

now it's time for a gravel siphon... nasty Molly...

Yeah mine are no longer fat. They are having other problems now. I am getting annoyed, I treated them for pop eye, now pop eye is almost gone but they are all at the surface of the tank breathing funny. One or two have white stuff ( doesnt look like ich, but possibly). One of the Mollie's fins are messed up, like it looks eaten away by something :(. I am done with Mollies if and when these die. I am going to bring them into the LPS and just give them to them.
