Hi all this is my first post and im a complete noob to tropical fish.We have a white molly thats looking bloated and a slight dark patch at the sides.Two dalmation mollys keep sucking it not been aggressive just at it all the time,so i wondered if it could be pregnant.We also found two babies hiding under wood which iv'e put in a small breeding tank,but we haven't a clue what they are.Sounds silly but i asked for all males so we weren't expecting baby fish.I've also found some eggs on the filter pipe.
The tank has Guppys,plattys,mollys,neons,silver sharks,gorarmis,pink kisses,and some catfish type but can't recall the name.
Any help would be great.

You can tell when they're pregnant as they look pretty much how yours sounds. Look for two small black dots under it's tail, these are the eyes of the fry. Hope i helped noob :D
 
yeah, they are injected with needles and other cruel ways. what size tank do u have?
Its 180 litre vision juwel.Didn't know they done that to fish,when do they do it to them.
 
If it's a pink kisser it'd be a pink Kissing Gourami, in which case, they are not dyed. They do, however, get large and need a big tank. While on the subject of big fish, the Silver sharks also get large and will outgrow that tank quickly. Do you know what kind of Gourami you have?

Im not quite sure but i'll go back to the shop and let you know.I bought the tank and fish from the same shop and took there advice as what to put in and not to put in.I just picked the ones we liked and asked if they were all ok for the tank size and if they were communal.How many fish will the tank take.

Thanks for all replies
