So a balloon molly of mine (fairly new) began looking extremely round a few days ago. This happened to another molly of mine, who we thought was pregnant but ended up just developing her shape. This molly, however, became larger than any other molly in the tank. Yesterday I noticed she wasn’t eating and was staying near the bottom of the tank near the heater. Taking this as confirmation she was pregnant, and knowing if I moved her too close to labor she would abort the babies, I put her in a breeding box. The next morning I woke up and she was dead. I have a Topfin 20 gallon tank with all artificial plants, five other balloon mollies, and two babies (which are doing fine, got them from the pet store with my most recent molly because it was only her and the two babies in the tank). I have a pantyhoe over the filter because of the babies, could this be the problem?
TLDR: Did a pantyhoe over the filter cause the sudden death of my possibly pregnant balloon molly?
