hi all.i was checking on my chocolate molly and i saw the weirdest thing happened.she laid clear/green eggs .i took her out and kept the eggs in there.any idea what happened???

 

[fishyjessie]

ummmm, mollies dont lay eggs, they have live fry is there anything else in the tank with her? im not a molly expert, but ive never heard of them laying eggs.

Sounds like she miscarried.

 

[balloon molly]

no all she had in there was a male balloon(i know theres supposed to be 2 female for every male so i put her in a breder net since the breeder tank is occupied.should i get rid of the eggs

I'm not sure if the eggs an survice outside the mother. Keep them portected, and see what happens. Keep us updated.

well right now lil green things are stickin out of the eggs might just be debris otherwise the eggs are turning white

The eggs are undeveloped. I had that probelm every time one of my pregnant fish delivers. There would always be a few eggs with unborn fry curled inside them.

Did any of the unhatched ones ever go on to hatch and survive, Sasha?

 

[Sasha]

No, they didn't hatch or live. I could tell that they were still too early to leave their mother's body, but with every delivery there are always a few undeveloped little ones.
