suprise pregnancy?

my black molly gave birth 3 weeks ago sat and just gone about 4 weeks ago the daddy died anyhoo I checked her yesterday aswell as my other black female both looked slI'm n slender so today I brought another male black molly and after I put him in the tank I noticed my black molly who he keeps chasing as gone HUGE and squared almost like she ballooned overnight I'm shocked as ive seen it happen gradually but never overnight lol her vent is open and seen as its 4 weeks this upcoming sat I say shes due very soon - I wonder is this common to just go big overnight? its defo not dropsy she just big n square on her belly like she has been the last 2 pregnancys shes had - also I know they can hold sperm n I think that's what shes done

 

Bumping this up for you

 

thankyou x

 

Hi, I'm not sure with mollies as I haven't had them in years but I know that with platys they actually can have 3+ pregnancies from one insemination.

 

Could you post a photo? They shouldn't be that big overnight even when they are Prego. She will give birth for at least six months every month to 50-100 fry after there last contact with a male. A few questions.
Is it cycled
What are the parameters
What size tank
What other fish
How long have you had all of them
Any new additions
What's the temp

 

hI I think its a 30 gallon hexagon fish tank I have 2 adult girl black mollies and ive had 2 batches of babies but which one it was I'm not sure both times as they both identical I also have 3 female baby black mollies 2 ballon mollies and 4 guppies - the tanks been up and running 4 months now so should be cycled waters all tested fine - I do regular water changes every 1-3 days - shes defo pregnant just surprised me proper ill get a photo now x




temp I keep at 80 its seems to keep ich at bay all the only new ones I had where the 4 guppes the day I posted this (sadly the black molly boy died) not sure why guppies thrieving tho all my other fish are about 4 months old same time I had the tank well after it was cycled of course lol I feed them fish flakes and blood worm as a treat x

 

woke up this morning n she doesn't look that big :/ cleaned out the tank no fry :/ I have good hiding spots so normally find around 7 so strange could it be bloated ?

 

She probably gave birth but all the fry were eaten. I'd not save any fry, your pretty much stocked and you'll quickly be overrun with fry. In the last photo she looks like she would give birth within a week, probably 1-3 days.

 

that's n but I set up another empty tank around a month ago I also have a contact that buys them of me so I'm not worried about over stocking but normally I do have a few babies left after they give birth be a new one to have them all eaten :/ tbh they don't bother with fry there quite good if you know what I mean x
