Fish Giving Birth

My Dalmation Molly (Poecilia sphenops) giving birth.

The fry that are a little bit more white and bigger and already swimming around were born a week earlier by another female.

thats cute i have 4 angel fish ant 2 alguea sucker fish so i have 6 fish we makin a biger tank to have more but how do u know if a fish iz a male or female

[Tinwelende]

How you can tell them apart depends on the species. As for angel fish, males typically have a more prominent forehead and on some of them, the forehead also has a yellow color. On sucker fish, if it's the normal ancistrus that you've got (bristlenosed catfish), males, when they have matured, have little whips or antenna-like things on their heads, which females don't. On other fish you can tell by the shape of the anal fins and such. It really differs between species.

how many were born..and when do you know to put them back in...and how long does it take for them to get pregnant??

[Tinwelende]

Around 30-40 were born. I usually put them back when they are a little bit more than half the size of the adult ones. Mollies get pregnant pretty much right away. They are easy to breed.

Their belly is getting bigger...

This reminds me of my white molly dat gave birth 45 babies but then she got dis white spots n she died :( but da babies survived :)

[Tinwelende]

I've got a liquid fry food called LiquiFry. You just put a few, small drops in and they feed from those drops, since they are kind of dense and sink to the bottom.
