thankx baby platy

I could be wrong here... but I think your female and a male have mated at some point if she's pregnant


What exactly would you like help with? There are a lot of people here with molly rearing experience. Fire away!

i need help becues i have whated 8weeks for my blackmolly to drop her fry

I think that either your molly is not pregnant because if she was she would have had the fry well before now or that your molly is not a normal black molly but a baloon molly. Other than that there is no information i can give you. Mollies have their fry every 4-6 weeks if the female has been fertilized by a male. I have never seen a molly go longer than 6 weeks to have fry. Other may have differing experience and may be able to share that with you. HTH

She isnt being chased or anything like that is she, or you put her in a breed tank of some sort? I keep saying this, but if the fish are stressed they will abort giving birth and so can put it off...?

not only that but it takes a whole month for mollies to give birth
