Hey guys I recently posted a thread about my pregnant molly and I now have 3 pregnant mollies. The oldest black molly being dominant in the tank. She’s the one who is tail smacking and circling the creamsicle. As well as chasing the other black molly around the tank. What do I do?!? My quarantine tank is not cycled yet and I’m scared to move her with how pregnant she is. Please help!!! (Excuse the giant green plastic grass. I tried using it to create a line of sight block to calm her down. But it doesn’t seem to be working.) and the damage on her scales and dorsal all happened today from attempting to fight the other fish. Is this a sign she’s going into labor?

They’ve been in the tank together for over a month without ever having issues. Not even playfully chasing each other. Which leads me to believe it’s her searching for territory to birth. But I have plenty of caves, live plants, and general hiding spots throughout the tank for her to have her own parcel of land. I’m just worried she’s going to become too stressed and run into complications. Although the other two are doing their best to avoid her. She’s become very aggressive. she’s typically the one who swims straight to the glass when she sees you she’s now darting away, only coming to the top to eat. And only being friendly with the gourami.

I’ve got an aqueon quietflow 50 that I rigged with an intake sponge. Fluval sponges inside for mechanical as well as bioballs in the bottom. I also have a small sponge filter running to help out (I’ve been told it’s overkill. I just wanna make sure they’re safe) I had never thought of that. Should I have a lot of decorations etc. in the tank as well? Or should it be empty and then pull the adult out once she births? I’m a first timer and all of this is very exciting and scary for me!
