[larkin]

can anybody here help me out i have recently got a couple of mollies one male one female and i think the female is pregnant does anybody know if she will start acting differantly when she is ready to give birth also i can kind of see through her a little and her belly looks black could this be the fry or just the way silver mollies are

I think the females are meant to have the little black bit. My black molly gave birth and the first sign I had was the 20 odd fry swimming in my tank! I'm not sure if they change behaviour. But you should get 2-3 females to each male so one female doesn't get harrassed all the time.

Some mollies will become quite noticeably pregnant. I had two different mollies give birth within the last few days, and they were quite swollen on their bottom sides before so. I'd say they tend to eat a bit more when pregnant, but that might just be my mollies.
