Hi everyone! In your own experience, what is the longest your mollies were pregnant before they actually gave birth? Second, have your mollies more often given birth during the day, at night, or about 50/50. Please, I am not looking for generic, rule-of-thumb info. Iāve read all of that, lots of times. Iām looking for other peopleās actual experience, not by-the-book info. I have 2 mature black mollies that I purchased when they were pregnant. When I bought them they already looked so pregnant and boxy that I literally thought they might drop their fry in the bag before I got them home from the pet shop! Iāve had them now AT LEAST 3 weeks, Iām guessing. They have been showing signs of labor off and on for probably the last 2 weeks (āyawningā where they look like theyāre gagging and overextend/stretch out their mouth, hovering very still, chasing the other away, anal area looks VERY ready for babies) but still no babies!! They still swim around between periods of hovering, are still eating...what the heck!? I put a divider in the breeder tank theyāre in so they can leave each other alone, hoping they will feel more relaxed and secure. Have any of you have a similar experience where it just seemed to take FOREVER, but eventually the babies WERE born and healthy?
