Is My Molly Pregnant ?

[Joanne_]

Hi everyone again !

I was wondering if somebody could please tell me if this time my molly is pregant or just fat ?

If you think she is pregnant, how long do you think until she will give birth ?

This is the only photo I could get of her.

Thank-you

Looks like she could be, hard to say though when livebearers are due. Keep an eye out for what could be Dropsy, look to see if her scales looked to be pushed out of sorts. I have seen cases where people thought their fish was pregnant but actually had Dropsy. You can look up imiages of Dropsy if you are not sure what to look for.

Hmm, no I don't think it's dropsy. No signs at all. She is swimming perfectly fine and all scales are flat.

There are 2 male mollies in the tank that's why I think she might be pregnant.

Check out the pinned "How To Know If Your Livebearers Ready To Drop Fry" at the top of the Common Livebearers page. Should be the third one down. It's very clear as to how tell the signs. The molly looks pregnant to me, and if she is, good luck!
