Sorry oldman the Molly had about 40 babies but ate most of them I saved 6. She didn't east the whole baby though just their stomachs. Then my Koi Sword tail had 70 babies. They are doing well!

Thanks man I plan on moving the filter because it's nicer than the one I'm getting with the tank. Sounds like your idea is about what I was planning on.

So I was wondering... I'm purchasing a 55 gal aquarium tomorrow. I already have a 30 gal aquarium. I'm planning on moving all of my 30 gallon fish into this. Can I put the water from my 30 into my 55, top it off, and move the fish into it right away. Mostly guppies sword tails and mollies...

Make that 70 babies.....

I had cover in there and she was able to get to most of them anyway. saved 6. Thats enough for the room i have now anyway. I hope to have a 55gal by this weekend so i can used my 15gal for babies and. then ill just have to decide what to use my 29gal for.. I also had a koi swordtail have 21...

I think it's time. It's been 5 1/2 weeks and she's pretty square looking to me!

Perfect thanks so much. I went back and looked at you post again after you replied to mine last night and I think I figured it out. Thanks for your help!

Babies tonight!!! I was able to snatch up 8 by the time I got home and noticed momy was skinny. It was the dalmation Molly.

Ok thanks. My dalmation Molly had babies today. I was able to round up 8 after I got home And saw tat she was skinny. Soooo 60 days for mollies? I thought 30 to 40. I saw yours was 42?

Thanks oldman. I've looked at your thread several times. Ive seen my mollys drop before they were as "square" as yours. Thats why i asked the question about Width. I have two large mollies now and one dropped on April 5th so im trying to track her like yours. also I've purchased a dalmation...

Ok so I'm a little confused. Does the term squared off describe the front to back section of the abdomen or should I be looking to width being square? or both? I've seen the pictures still each fish is different. Thanks for any input!

So some bad news te black one was literally laying on the bottom of the tank last night when I went to bed and this morning she was dead. She was huge. I guess it's possible she had something wrong with her too.

I have lots of cover but the babies are eaten anyway inless I catch them first. I havent left them in there 24 hours even and I let both out this morning Ill just keep an eye on them. seems mollies are much more likely to loose their babies due to stress. i never had problems with guppies in...

Thanks!! on another note one of my guppies had 10 babies tonight I was able to scoop them up an get them in a fry net.

I have a decent ball of java moss and my fry still get eaten I think it's real hit and miss. Maybe I have dumb fry;)
