    Molly Sex Change??

    Hey guys! So Iā€™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).

    Pregnant mollies

    Hey guys 2 of our fish seem to be pregnant, would you say so? We only noticed this on Saturday so are unsure as to how long they have been pregnant for. The guys in pets at home advised we keep them in this cage until they give birth and then move them back into the tank and leave the babies...

    Why isn't my platy giving birth?

    Hi there, First time having a pregnant platy. She has been pregnant over a month and a half, it's becoming an on going joke of when she's going to give birth! Tested waters and it's fine other than the Ph maybe being a little low on 6.5, could that be it? She's in her own tank now 30L

    Is my Mickey Mouse Platy Pregnant?

    I was looking at my fish today and felt like itā€™s stomach looks like itā€™s big and need to know if Iā€™m going to need to watch out for babies so I can separate them when theyā€™re born so they donā€™t get eaten. Iā€™m wondering if anyone is able to tell! Thank you for your help!

    Pregnant Gold Dust Molly?

    Hi all, I was wondering if you would think my Gold dust Molly is pregnant or not. I got her a couple weeks ago and I do have a single Dalmatian Molly that is always trying to get with the females. She also has a white spot where Iā€™d guess Cloaca would be. Here are some photos of her.
