molly

I recently donated all of the juvenile mollies in my tank to the LFS I work at, and now that there’s more room in the tank my mollies have been “doing it” nonstop. Yesterday I noticed that my black molly’s belly was a bit bigger and more squared off, but now I’m concerned. She’s removing herself...

Okay so I originally thought my platy was pregnant, but it’s been well over a month since she’s been so big so I’m pretty sure she has bloat. I heard that feeding fish peas would help bloat, so I thawed a handful of frozen peas in water and dropped a few in. Then I went out for a couple hours...

Hey guys! So I’m a bit concerned/confused about my gold nugget molly named July. I got her about 6 weeks ago, and then about a week later I got a male Lyretail molly (named Ember). July was most definitely a female up until today, as you can see from the first picture of her. Ember definitely...

I thought my Dalmatian Molly was male but it looks pregnant with a very bloated belly. It has been like this for a couple of weeks. Any advice?

Hello all, So I noticed today my Molly, who I didn’t know was pregnant as I was treating the tank for intestinal worms I thought she just had a lot of worms and bloated, laid fry. I’ve counted 4 of them, and I’m not sure what I should do now. I don’t have a nursery tank, and nor will my parents...

Hello all, So I have a 29g tank and I’ve noticed the last few weeks one of my mollies has been getting lethargic and looks quite a bit skinner compared to the other lyretail mollies I have. It’s looked skinny since I got it but seems to be getting worse. She was eating fine but today when I...

I’m out of town at the moment and have a friend taking care of my fish, my female silver Molly was normal size when I left and now she is huge. Not sure if it’s just pregnancy or something else. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello. I purchased some fish today that were labeled as platys but now that I see them in the tank I'm not sure if they are platys or mollies, especially the one in the second photo. Can anyone help me identify them? Thank you.

Help! I just set up a tank less than a week ago with 5 female mollies. I’m new to this but it’s important to me that my fish are happy and healthy. One of my mollies seems off. She doesn’t swim around and stays in the top corner near the heater. My other 4 mollies seem fine and swim around. At...

Hello friends, i am new here, i was looking for a forum to post my mollies to check if any of these 2 mollies is pregnant. I am waiting for a fast answer so i can put the pregnant in safe place to give birth! Thank you for your time.

Hi there, I believe my molly is extremely close to giving birth. I am just about to separate her from the main tank, but want to ensure it isn’t too soon. What do you guys think?

Hello, I am sure my molly is pregnant, but I want someone to estimate how long until she could give birth… I’ll attach photos below

Hi! I’m so excited to have found this forum! I’m new to gosh keeping and have fallen in love with mollies! I currently have 4 adult females and 1 adult male (and some fry 🤪). I’ve learned a lot over the past couple of months and look forward to learning even more from members here.

10 gal set up for live bearing mothers and their fry. No males allowed. Non pregnant females and males are kept in a studding tank. I love this hobby. It is keeping ke very happy. Let me know what you think of it.

What is causing this? It’s a Dalmatian Molly. Video (Might still be processing)

Hello all, I have multiple tanks (2x20 gallon) and (2x10 gallon), and in one of the twenty gallons I would like to add another Balloon Belly Molly. I have tried adding 3 over the course of the last couple months, but all the new ones die within about a week. The tank has 2 mature female ballon...
