Believe me.... if there is a male in a 100m radius of her within the past 3 months, she is pregnant.... Balloons are a bit more difficult to tell, but (looking at yer pic) I'd say it'll be at least another 2 weeks.... She's not bulging on the sides.... only down to the bottom.... so it will still be som time. (but don't put her in a breeding trap.... They are easily stressed, and will deliver stil borns.....

I hope you meant this as not put them in early, im a bit tired of ppl saying breeding traps are bad, ive used them from day one and they are exellent if you used properly.

Putting a fish in early could cause them to abort early, due to to stress.
If you place her in the trap at the right time, out the lights, they will be fine.

breeding traps are only bad if used the wrong way.

You're damn right...... It is really bad quality....... At least, we can tell that the neon tetra is probably a female.

5teady, you have your overhead view now. IMO she is probably well along but I couldn't say if it's today or next week. I'd be surprised if it takes more than a week.

 

[lilfishie]

i don't think she is that big, comparing to the one i had but she did have a very high number of fry, i say a week or 2

 

[5teady_2012]

IMO definitly not far on, at least 1-2 weeks away

is it mollies who eat the babies or guppies? one of them doesnt I think! if my molly eats her babies I will fall out with her.
