get a pic if you can..thats the best way for us to help..and if the white spots look like grains of salt, it could be ich...if they are actual bumps, could be a tumor, parasite, etc..so getting a pic would really help

Well one of my mollies is DEFINITELY pregnant. She's big bellied and has a dark spot. I hope its the handsome male I have (lyretail with a huge sail) that did it. Whats gestation for them (silver mollies)?

mollieMollie

The white spot is tiny! What do you think about her being pregnant?

mollieMollie

To me she looks bigger today! I just looked at her and she had a long strand of poop hanging out as long as her tail!I still don't know if she is pregnant! Remember she is a mixed Arenda!

Shawnie

try a few small pieces of frozen pea shelled and cut up ..about the size of her eye..she could be constipated and bloated ...otherwise, its a wait n see game...

One more question from me on my pregnant mollies (both my females are now, good job to the male). They are in a tank with three zebra danios and three blood-fin tetras, should I split the tank or put the females in a breeder box? Ive read that the frys need cover, which I dont have much at the moment, I was wondering how to protect the fry.

Shawnie

without cover even the moms will eat the fry also so keep a good eye out if you have a breeding tank that would be good just remove mom when done hatching fry

Hey, I noticed she seems a little bigger and the dark spotis a bitt bigger and darker!

KyWildFish

would a fry box work if I can skim them out in time?

livetowin

Yes a Breeders net or Fry box will work. From Experience i know a really good product. Its called the "Fish Net Breeder" from Lee's Aquarium & Pet Products. You can get it at Petsmart for around 5 bucks and it works very well. i have 5 babie guppys in there right now and you are able to watch the fish to see if any thing is wrong

KyWildFish

well I will get a box/net on the way home then thank livetowin

livetowin

sure no prob im here to help

mollieMollie

hey I'm back by the way what is a breeding tank?

Shawnie

just a seperate small tank for fry

mollieMollie

Shawnie, quick question what do the pees do?

Shawnie

help with constipation as mollys are huge piggies and sometimes get totally swollen from eating too much

mollieMollie

MY fish is actually a mixed Arenda

Shawnie

I have not a clue what that is..I was going by the title of this thread with molly being pregnant
