Dodgy Molly

[geezer]

Ello all

I got a female gold sailfin molly who has been quite 'big' for a couple of weeks. At first I thought she was a greedy git, and heard that females are more plump than the males.

I only feed the fish once a day so it seemed rather how odd how big she is

Someone said she could be pregnant. The male molly is always trying to nudge her and play with her a lot of the time, and she's always been active.

But last night and today she hasn't really moved at all, just very lethargic. Normally she's the first to push the fish out of the way for the food and she totally ignored it.

Here is a few pictures of what she looks like:

Tank size 55 gallon
Amonia 0mg
Nitrite 0mg
Nitrate 20mg
PH 7.8
Hardwater 16


Any help appreciated

I haven't had mollies for very long, so I can't offer much advice on the lethargy and inappetance, but she looks just like my molly did before she had babies.
