Is my gold dust molly fish pregnant?

[Tommy_85]

Hi all,
Just have a question to ask here. is any of my gold dust molly fish pregnant?

If so, is my tank enough for the molly fry?
My tank is currently 25cm x 25cm x 25cm with 6 guppies and 5 mollies and 1 platy

Thank you so much.

She could be but she looks more just wellshaped to me...

 

[Tommy_85]

Ok. Understand now. Thank you

Oh ya... Another question... is my tank enough for the mollies to have a good environment to breed?

my tank dimensions are 25cm x 25cm x 25cm.

Thanks

Is it a 10 gal?

Hi... I don’t think it is a 10 gal of fish tank.
Is only 15 litres of water = 4.2 gal of water

So it is not enough for the mollies to breed?

Thanks

I would say no. What I've been told 1 in fish = 1 gal of water. Since u have 12 fish in a 4.2 might want to get a bigger tank. Not enough room could/can stress the fish. And if ur gonna breed em u differently need a bigger tank

Ok. Thank you so much for the information.
I will work on it and make it a better environment for the fishes to live in.

When u do breed em what i did was get some floating plants or places for the fry to hide otherwise they could get eaten

Yes, also make sure that you have both male and female mollies right now if you want them to breed. As for breeding the mollies, I would recommend you get java moss for your tank. It is a perfect plant for the fry to hide in. I use it in my guppy tank so that the fry can hide. I also put a small chunk of it in my molly tank. There is a picture of java moss below. You can click this link to learn about its care. It is very easy to care for. Good luck with breeding the mollies! It is a very nice hobby

Thanks for the information, Just to check and update. My guppies are like following one of the molly (stomach area like seems big), so is it normal? Or should I separate them?

And this molly is more aggressive than the other mollies.

Ah the Gold dust panda. My guppies follow my Molly's and plates also. I believe that's normal
