molly

So I have my first batch of molly fry,   they were born while I was away, most probably on sunday (2 days ago) and I came back to find them.   Managed to find 5  and transferred into a floating fry trap. No idea how many were born, although the molly mummy I suspect is quite a young one who's...

Hey guys   I am seeking for some advise. I have attached 3 pics for u to look over.   Is my molly pregnant? If so how many weeks do u think? Also my rainbow fish has now got a black stripe on the side. Is it normal?   Thanks!

I have a 45 gallon tank, and I was thinking about trying to cross mollies and guppies. I have heard it is possible, and I would  like to try it myself. Does anyone have any advice on, like, how to encourage them to spawn? Anything related would help. Thanks!

I recently bought some dalmation mollies as well as a few other fish. However I am pretty new to owning fish as I have only ever owned a betta or goldfish when I was younger. I think my molly is pregnant but I am not completely sure and was hoping someone would be able to help me and confirm...

I really do hate to ask as I know it's continuously asked. Sadly, I'm not even new to mollies or livebearers in general, but it's been a while and I'm quite rusty when it comes to identification. And I'm new to black mollies all together. I'm used to looking for a gravid spot, never really paid...

I've had my Black Sailfin Molly since 24th Dec 2012 now and it shows some rather odd behaviour. Basically it chases my platies around for ages trying to eat their poo. It's not nipping at them or showing any aggression, it just seems to be after their waste. Is this normal as I've not seen any...

These are some pictures of my new balloon molly.  Her stomach seems bigger than the others and her behavior also seems different.  I'm not really sure what a gravid spot is supposed to look like.  I was wondering if anyone can tell if she might be pregnant.

about a week and a half ago i notice my balloon molly had ich so i moved her into a quarntine tank and treated her and the main tank was fine none of the other fish got ich and i moved her back into the tank and she is fine now how long should i wait before adding new fish. it was not a very bad...

I picked up a molly at the pet store two weeks ago. When I got her I was told she was probably pregnant, becasue of her size. I waited a week and then placed her in a breeder net - this was a week ago. Now she is not really moving at the bottom of her net. I'm not sure whether I've just...

Hi everyone! Yesterday I bought 2 guppies (female) and 2 mollies (male and female) for my new tank. It has been cycling for over one month without fish and since then the ammonia levels have reached zero. Yesterday the fish were happily swimming around, however my Black Molly seemed to be the...

Hi, I am not sure if this is an emergency "yet" or not but since we are newbies and I do not want to wait too long or take any chances, I am posting this here. We got a new aquarium last week for our kids and it is barely 10 days now. It is a 5 gallon aquarium and we put only two fish to start...

Hello fellow fish lovers, I filled out the questionnaire and hope that someone knows what my gold molly has. Basically there are two big white spots on the connection of body to fin tail. I looked up white spot sickness (ich) and fungus but the white spots seems to be too big for ich and not...

I've only been keeping fish a little while so I'm definitely rather new. I noticed my black female bubble Molly swimming in circles about an hour ago. Other then a kinked tail she seems okay. It seems more like her tail is stuck to the right. All of her fins are moving fine. She's not hovering...

Some people may not see this as an emergency but it is quite urgent, I have a female balloon molly, another different type of male molly and an angel fish all together in a tank, they've been getting on fine for the months they've been together but all of a sudden my female balloon molly has at...

Meet Purdy, my female Dalmation lyretail molly. Recently, she has been suffering from what appears to be pop-eye. She has white film and fuzz around her right eye along with the eye protruding from the socket. This is the second time that this has occured the past thirty days. It went away when...

Hello! I am new to mollys and have just purchased my first last week. I have noticed that since i have had my molly its belly has been growing! She started out playing around with the other mollies but the past 2 days has been hiding in the plants or other ornaments i have! Not sure if that...
