it doesnt stop coming

[bball4life]

yeah the paremeters are normal, she stopped doing that awhile ago though. She did have ick, but it is going away with a treatment I am using

 

[Snailguy101]

how is yours doing?

 

[bball4life]

shes doing ok, but she is still swimming like she is a baloon molly its really weird . I dont know if that is a good thing that she is doing that because it means closer to fry time, or does it not mean anything I dont know what to think right now. Hows yours doing?

 

[bball4life]

Ok shes in the main tank now and I just noticed she had a gravid spot which she didnt have yesterday. So I am thinking its getting closer and closer to that time

 

[Little_Orca]

Keep us posted! And be sure to put up baby pictures.

 

[bball4life]

oh yeah I will I have a question though. The gravid spot that she has is kind of a light blue color that you can barely see thats on her anal. Does that sound like a gravid spot or not? If anyone has a pic of a molly gravid spot please post it

 

[Snailguy101]

I noticed a dark cicurlar spot where the babies come she just poos and rests

 

[bball4life]

yeah I think she has a gravid spot because if I look a little lower she has almost kind of a blackish spot. Also her anal is getting wider to almost to where I can just see something dark in there its not poop though she hasnt really been pooping alot.

 

[Snailguy101]

Mine had hers!!!! I only got 1 I found in my net its see through and looks kinda wierd

 

[bball4life]

oh cool congrats

 

[Little_Orca]

Congrats Snail! I am expecting some fry myself. I don't think Amalthea is pregnant after all, but Twilight sure has a belly on her!

And Bball, here are some images of gravid spots.

I was unable to find any of mollies, but the top is a sword tail and the bottom is a guppy.

 

[bball4life]

well she still hasnt had them here is are 2 pics of her, do you think it just wasnt time yet? I dont even know if you would be able to tell if she was pregnant in these pics, and the second is blurry

Yes, she has a gravid spot. However, if she just got this, she has a while to go. The gravid spot is the frys' eyes...so they need to develop a while before they will be born.

She looks VERY pregnant though...I'd expect a large number of fry!

 

[bball4life]

she got it about 4-6 days ago. How long do you think it will be so I can put her in the breeders net?

 

[Annastasia]

If she just got her gravid spot? At least 2 weeks, probably more around 3-5 weeks.

However, I still would not advise you put her in the breeder net. It's going to be stressful for her, as she looks like a very large Molly. Is there another tank you could put her in to let her give birth? Or just let her give birth in the tank and fish out the babies?
