Big Mama Jr.'s Pregnancy

[TheSims3Dude]

I noticed big mama jr was huge and really squared off (she looks like she's gonna pop!) so I put in her in my 5 gallon tank, (it has a heater, filter, air pump, plants, gravel, more plants, lol) I hope she gives birth soon!

good luck.

Thanks! I took the betta's out of the tank, cuz they didn't seem interested anymore, (and she was getting pretty battered up) so I guess they weren't ready yet, so my male is in the 15 gallon tank, and the female is in the 20 gallon, so my preggo molly has the whole tank to herself!

i would put er in the chimmly with the male they might just need one more day nd then try again tomorrow morning.

Meh, I'd rather have the molly fry instead, cuz I can sell em and I'm better experienced with livebearers, lol!

 

[kizno1]

ok fair enough. i have a load of mollys aswell i did have 12 molly and platy fry untilone of my female bettas jumped into the breeding trap and at all of them.

Oh no! This is Big Mama Jr's first time having babies, how many do you think she'll have 10-15 or so? Oh! She's a pure black molly (Big Mama and Big Mama Jr's dad was a black molly too) and this one that got Big Mama Jr. preggo is a sailfin silver molly, will they some of the babies be black, and some silver? Will they have the sailfin? Or will they be dalmation colors... I'm so confused!! lol

about 15 i would think my molly has about 40 now. and you will proberly get a mix of all of them

Sweet! Here's a pic of her, it's with my camera phone so don't mind the bad quality, but you basically get point.. lol

Does she look square enough?

 

[kizno1]

dose she have the white thing under her belly like your female betta did?

 

[TheSims3Dude]

The white tube? Ya, she does, she's had it for about 3-4 days now, but it's really noticeable now, I just looked at Oldman47's topic about from start to finish (pregnancy) and I think mine might give birth soon, I'm still not good at telling, but hopefully I can watch her give birth!
She keeps hiding in the plants, and near the bottom of the tank too, but mostly in the plants, near the heater, etc,

 

[kizno1]

it looks like it will be in the next couple of days.

 

[TheSims3Dude]

Ok sweet! Since I have the heater, filter, air pump, etc she will be fine in there until she gives birth right? It's a 5 (or 5.5 gallon tank) so it's quite big for her..

 

[kizno1]

yh she will be fine in that

Ok, thanks for all your help kizno! I really appreciate it!
