[mrtroysome]

[mrtroysome]

can anybody help one day i woke up and saw a tadpole like thing it was completley white in my tank my dalmation mollie has been fat for about 2 months now could this be one of her young if so should i put her in the breeder cuz im not sure in case it kills her please help

[sharonthepixie]

@mrtroysome

put the fry in the tank or the fry will get eaten or sucked into the filter

[Autumn42598]

@johnnyfisalive how u can tell that a molly is pregnant is that she will b really fat and sometimes there is a dark spot near the tail. How u can tell a male from a female is that on the females their fins are more ROUNDER and on the males the fins are more STRAIGHT.

[shortyks98]

She's not THAT fat tho, which makes me wonder...

[shortyks98]

I got a Dalmatian Molly and I think she might be pregnant... I'm not sure but that's what I'm trying to figure out... I guess you could consider her fat, but she has a red splotch on her stomach, every once in a while her fins will go down and she will wiggle. Idk what's wrong!! Plz help!!

[thebettafish1]

Why is there a yellow egg?? nd why did she do that?? PLEASE ANSWER!!

[Umbreonluvr61391]

I have 3 females with 2 males, but one is bigger and more dominant but very gentle. One female (I believe my orange lyretail) had 20 fry and I got all of them in a baby net. They are doing well. They aren't from my dominant male though, I think she was pregnant when I bought her but she didn't really show it. In that case all the babies should be lyretails. Now all 3 of my females (Lyretail, Black, and dalmation) are pregnant. I love mollies :)

My brothers Molly gave birth at like 2 o'clock am a on the first day of school. I have one of the babies it's sooooo cute XD

[vikachu777]

I remember when my dad's molly gave birth, they were shooting out of her at high speed.. or maybe my memory is messing around with me..

[johnnyfisalive]

how can u tell when mollies are pregnant? how can u tell male from female?

[spy8951]

Male are different to females, you can easily tell by putting them into a different tank and selecting them 1 by 1, the females wll have bigger butt holes and a larger gap 'below' that the males. Also the males should be able to ejaculate sperm into the water when there are eggs near it.

[reininghorses57]

How do I tell if my mollies are male and female? And how wil I know if she is pregnant? I just got 2 Dalmatian mollies today

[dogluver2222]

How old is the mom there for it to hav all those spots????

[orchidstar98]

you're really not supposed to but mollies in breeders, even if she's about to give birth. this stresses her out, and she may abort the fry, even this close to the birth.

[MrFishbreeder]

@derekisafruit Right before she is about to have it. Putting the fish into a breeder like that can stress them out, which could potentially lead to early birth, which means they could be stillborn. So if you wait until you see one or two babies in the tank, that would be the ideal time to put her into the breeder.

[wahhho]

@MrFishbreeder or just put a suspected pregger into the nursery tank and wait

[MrFishbreeder]

@JenniferDarkness If you have plants in your tank, you only have to separate them for a couple of days, otherwise about 2 weeks

[cam4er]

[JenniferDarkness]

dalmation mollies are hard for me to tell if their pregnant

[aljondavid]

[MrGman0909]

[wiggyfromwigan]

wow how many babies do these fish tend to have as i baught some only had them a few hours wen i woke up i found fry in my tank but could only find 6 alive hiding among the plants and 1 of my mollies had died :(

[MrFishbreeder]

@mattfishman123 There were 54 babies

[mattfishman123]

how much did it have'

[drumantic64]

I think the first question means how do you know when the Molly is big enough/ready to give birth.

dirtbikekid, we found that black, dalmation/marble, white and other types of Molly will attempt to breed together.

[dirtbikekid12]

will black mollies and dalmation mollies breed?

[AntiBookReader]

How do you tell if it's big enough for the breeders tank

[MrFishbreeder]

@AntiBookReader You kind of have to judge it. It takes some experience, but if you look at their belly and it looks close to bursting right open, then the Molly will give birth soon.
