Patty, my soon-to-be-a-mamma Black Molly

Hey everyone,


People have a lot of questions about my female Black Molly, Patty. She was my first fish, and she is the only female in the tank, out of 5. Surprisingly, you would think that would be hard on her. But it's more hard on the other fish than anything els. She has been sick, and yet she is the strongest fish in the tank. When we had low pH, everyone sat in a corner on the rocks, while she swam around at the top and through the leaves. On her sides she has sparkling white gills, and there even more beautiful in the sunlight. She is the only one who is not afraid of my finger, and will smack her tail against it if It's in the way. If there's a big crowd of fish for food, she won't find her way around, she go right throw and eat all the food herself. She's mean, she's pregnant, and she's Patty.

She really is! Today she did the funniest thing! She swam up to the filter, and the water came through, and splashed her, and she did a back flip right out of the water! I do have pictures but no time to upload them now, on the weekend I can do it. it's her 27 day being pregnant, so she might pop soon!

Yay! I would love for you to name one!!! She's been pregnant for about 29 days, so I have to keep a real close eye on her!

P.S. Bill died. See, now this is strange, Patty was my first fish, and the tetra's Shovel, Giant, and Cody, are great. But I can't seem to keep male black molly's alive! I'm going to do some more research, anyone have any ideas?

you should have more females than males. i know you said that she is strong and fun but thay are still animals with instincts. the male could have died from the stress of constant competition to breed. do they males fight i would be very suprised if they didn't.
hope it all goes well

I got new females (2 more) and 1 more male, so he has all the ladies in the tank to himself. He seems happy.
