Hello Everybody

Hello everyone. I'm new to this whole fish thing 

. I have 2 African Cichlids, 1 Tetra, and 1 Dalmatian Molly which I believe is pregnant but I'm not sure... Would anyone be able to help me figure out if she is close to giving birth? Thanks!

to the Forum!
 
Perhaps you could show a picture of the Molly, someone will give more info for you regarding pregnancy in mollies.
 
Also a pic of your tank would be nice too if you can. 

 
Glad to have you on board and hope you enjoy the forum!!

Thanks! 

    Here is a photo of the fish. I've placed her in a smaller tank of her own just to be cautious in case she is pregnant. I wouldn't want the other fish stressing her out. I also have a plant and some other small areas for the fry to hide if she is indeed pregnant.

Yeah she looks pregnant, to the point of squaring off, she will be close to having her fry im sure

Thanks Antonia! 

  We're getting pretty anxious! That picture was taken 2 days ago. She has squared off even more since then so it could happen any minute!

You're welcome, hope everything goes well. it'd be great to see photos of the fry when she has them!

I'll make sure to post a picture when they arrive so you can see them!

very nice, just wondering what kind of tetras you have. they are considered schooling fish and should be kept in a min of 3, but i like to have mine in groups of 6.

I actually misidentified the fish! It is actually a Cherry Barb. Like I said, I'm new to this whole thing haha. But thank you! I've already learned a lot!
