HELP

[tizme]

Hi,
I have new fry in my main tank!! One of my fish is giving birth as I write this!! Only problem is I don't know for sure which fish is giving birth!! What are the signs of giving birth and how long does it take?? I know one of my platies is pregnant for sure, but I also have a black molly that I have suspisions is pregnant, but can't tell (couldn't see a gravid spot if she had one LOL)

Already able to get 6 babies out of the tank into the fry tank with at least 3 more in the big tank

Any help would be appreciated....I am new to this breeding thing!

if the fry are black they belong to ur molly, if they arnt they belong to ur platty.

not that easy!! my platy is a blue/silver mickey mouse (so there is some black)
and the babies are small, think they have some black -- but they could still be either

Now have caught 14.....my molly is quite agitated and was rubbing belly against bottom...she also have a white spot at the anal area, but haven't seen any babies be born

Now have caught 14

to add to my wifes post.. I just fished another one out which brings us 17 so far. Man that puts the 5 gal with all the fry at 40. What a busy (and lucky for some) week and a half.
