I was just wondering if all pregnant mollies would look the same even though there are different types of mollies out there?

If you've been reading my posts, I've got this orange molly, "Mommafish" that I believe is pregnant but she just looks a little boxyish, no real distended stomach yet and I can see what looks like the little fry in her belly.

I've also got a platinum molly, "Bette Davis" that I am wondering as of tonight if she isn't pregnant as well. She has been acting completely opposite of Mommafish and tonight I noticed her belly is just huge! She's been agressive as far as nipping at Momma and Elmosfish, our male platy and she's been eating eating eating!!! whereas Momma hasn't had much of an appetite and has been sitting around by herself the last few days.

I read on another post that sometimes pregnant mollies can act agressively towards other fish so I am just wondering if it is possible they are both pregnant but are acting very differently....

Incidently, I thought all my fry belonged to Mommafish but I can tell there are orange and white fry so I'm thinking now that Momma and Bette each had some fry and if Momma is pregnant, then it'd be about the same amount of time for Bette too

Does this make any sense to anyone?? Thanks.

Hi Missjerm. Yes, different pregnant mollies can act totally different from each other. I have some who never stop eating, some who become aggressive, etc.

Oh good. Now I won't think something is always wrong with them when they start doing weird stuff... I can just for pregnancy symptoms!!! Thanks!!

he he he he, if I had to have a penny every time my mollies do something weird, I'd be a millionaire!

Well I think we have to look at Miley for the first Fishlore millionaire. Or Callum with his future fishstore!

yea, Miley'll be buying like a million animals when she's a successful actress tho.

Yeah, but Miley will also open a giant aquarium and give us all jobs. I already called for General Manager and am hired!
