what does every one else think ??

if shes not pregnant i would say shes extremly fat lol

 

[Victora1984]

yeah i know but what if shes sick??? and my suspisions are wrong??

 

[donna 123]

why do you think shes sick?
Is she eating ok? has she any raised scales at all?
she looks ok to me

 

[Victora1984]

no shes eating fine, scales all look, good and she swimming well , just looks likes shes about to split at the seems ,

she looks quite well sqared off at the bottom so i would say she is pregnant she also has a shaded patch around the rear which could be the eyes of the baby fish its a bit hard to tell but seeing as she is so square to what they usually are (very round not square bottomed ) i would say yes she is and due soon maybe in the next week

 

[Victora1984]

right ok if she is preg do i have put her in one of them nets so my other fish dont eat the babies and if so when do i put her in there

 

[pippoodle]

to check she is definately pregnant and not overfed

dont feed the fish at all tomorrow then feed every other day for a couple of days and see if she gets smaller
if she does shes just a greedy mare lol

if not then she is definately pregnant and you need to add her to the net when she shows signs of impending labour

hanging round the bottom of the tank near plants , hiding from others and excellerated breathing
check the sticky in livebearers for more tips

i'll ask mods to move you thread to live bearers for more responses hun

 

[Victora1984]

thanks wont feed them tomorrow but i dont think shes a greedy fish as she eats about the same as my other mollies but will take you up on that thanks again

 

[pippoodle]

good luck with her
