[MollyFresh]

Gonna Give birth soon??? Please Answer

Watch This Video Of My Fish!!

 

[MollyFresh]

Don't forget to watch the video please

 

[Hawkins]

it probably is pregnant, but can you anwer these please?

1. what do you feed her, and how much?
2. what is the temp in the tank?
3. is she acting strange?

 

[MollyFresh]

The Temp in the tank is 78-82 Degrees ( The Heater is set to 72)
I feed her Topfin Freeze Dried Brine Shrimp and Tetra Color Tropical Flakes
I am not sure what acting strange looks like, at the moment she is swimming at the surface of the water. If that helps? I will take a video of her and post it soon



Shes breathing alot.. every once in a while the other fish nip at her butt, she poops alot

 

[Hawkins]

aslong as shes pooping that rules out constipation!
maybe if she is pregnant shes holding them back as the others are nipping her (after her babies!)

breathing at the surface is a sign of late stages of pregnancy..

any chance you could isolate her?

 

[MollyFresh]

Yeah, I have a Breeder box, it floats.. its already in the tank but I am hesitant to put her in it because i have read that It is stressful to the fish. I so badly want to put her in it because now she is hiding at the bottom of the tank in plants and its damn hard to find her. I need to open the top of the tank just to find her, can't hide from the sky xD

 

[MollyFresh]

Its so hard to take a good picture of her so you can see her stomach. I want to know if shes " squarish" but Its neer impossible to take a good picture. Even a video is hard.. shes so busy trying to get out of the box that she doesent pose for the camera lol

did you finish cycling your tank before thinking she is pregnant? you had tons of cycle issues.

 

[MollyFresh]

I think its still cycling, I bought her before I knew about cycling your tank and all. If I had known that I had to cycle my tank I would have done a fishless cycle.

 

[omega59]

okay. teh fish does seem pregnant, do you have a breeding trap, they will eat their young.

 

[MollyFresh]

Yeah I do, its in the water now, should i put her in it? I don't want her to get stressed out and not have her babies.
