what does a ready to pop platy look like can sombody get me a pic?

 

[bball4life]

now she is kind of hovering and staying a float like she was a baloon molly or something

 

[Snailguy101]

Is yours still pooing?

 

[bball4life]

actually she stopped for about a day, but I just went in and checked on ther this morning and she started again.

 

[Snailguy101]

Gravel cleaning is a pain now she goes every where!

 

[Snailguy101]

Btw mine hides a lot now is this normal?

 

[bball4life]

yeah it was getting to be a pain, but she stopped pooping so... I dont really know whats going on with her. I noticed that she got a slight bit skinnier, and since I heard that when they get a little skinnier they will have fry later on. I am not really sure maybe its just my imagination since I want her to have her babies.

Mine is still pretty large

 

[bball4life]

I am so surprised that my molly hasnt had her fry yet she is showing all the signs and she is so big

 

[Snailguy101]

Well it could be soon we gotta be paitent but it's sooo hard!

 

[bball4life]

yeah it is hard, my molly looks like she would be a baloon molly its really weird he stomach is shaped exactly like one, but I know for a fact that she is not.

 

[Snailguy101]

wierd

 

[bball4life]

yeah it is if I had never seen a baloon molly I would think that she was one. Oh yeah I have an opinion question for you, I have a 29 gallon tank with young angelfish and 6 corydoras catfish, do you think I should breed red,orange, yellow, and black guppies in there or do you think I should breed red dalmation mollies in there?

 

[bball4life]

uh oh could it be time? I noticed that she was laying on the rocks and breathing a little heavy. I dont know if this has to do with the fry or some other reason. So just in case it is I put her in the breeders net again and she is laying down on it and still breathing a little heavy. Do you think it has to do with the fry or could she be getting sick or something?

For the first post...I'd breed Mollies, only if you are totally prepared for the fry. Guppies are so incredibly inbred already...they really don't need to be made much weaker. I'd stick with Mollies.

For the second...that's not usually a sign of labor. I'd check water params, and see if anything else looks wrong with her, or if she is showing any external signs of disease. Also, make sure there is enough oxygen in the water.

Good luck!
