Balloon Molly Due?

[kukkieb]

HI im not sure if im doing this right since its my first time... (new topic thing)

But anyway I bought an extra female balloon molly for my tank today I chose the fattest one since I cant wait to have fry, she is much fatter than the other balloon mollies that Ive had for I week, but shes most definitely pregnant, can someone plz tell me how far she is ....

Thank you

the bottom pic is of a female that i not yet that fat
(a male is chasing her)

looks to me like she maybe about to drop....
however i kept a molly like this, and it didnt drop for a few weeks
let us know when you get your fry. there lovely, just got 12 myself

She hasnt dropped yet ... but cant wait

what did you get 12 balloon mollies, or fry

 

[Matthew Lee Newell]

i managed to save 12 fry, although one of them was orange??
i dunno eh, such as fish?

 

[kukkieb]

She still hasnt dropped... is it fine if I put her in the the breeding trap every night before I put the light off till she drops?

And...

Shes getting darker, she doesnt have spots but shes almost a grey color now... is this normal?

Its the first time I ll have fry ... from any fish, since I just got balloon mollies and my guppies always had fry without me knowing

 

[Matthew Lee Newell]

yeah i dont see why it wont be fine,
just dont stress her too much,

if you can tell she must be ready to drop, just leave her in the breeding trap, provided you can take her out when she has dropped....

Found 2 fry last night one bigger than the other one, not sure if their my guppies since one of them dropped 3 days ago and I couldnt find any fry even though I look everywhere and took out all rocks and plants...

The bigger look about the size my cousins guppies were when his guppy just dropped, but the other one is REAL small , I dont know maybe he is premature???

Are the Guppy or Balloon Mollie Fry ???

There is 1 photo of the "normal" one

And 2 photos of the extra small one

The picture taken from above has a small neon tetra to compare the size

Sorry bout the blurry pic the camera cant focus on th small one properly

Thanks for the help



First the normal one

She finally had her babies today will post some pics tomorrow...
They are sooo cute

I found out that the fry in above pictures is a guppy

And the small one is .... wait for it

PANDA CORY!!!

I was so shocked since I found two more of them in the tank and this morning I fed them and I saw they had blacks spots exactly where my pandas have and when I looked closer I even saw their barbels ... ahh

any way then I wondered where they came from, when I looked closely at the plants I saw they had these white eggs on them.


thanks for the help.
