Mollie Advice Please

[craftybungle]

I have had my tank set up for around 20 weeks now, it has 1 plecko, 2 red eye tetra, 2 silver mollies, 1 golden sunshine guppy, 1 red plattie and 1 catfish, the silver mollies, both female were introduced about 5/6 weeks ago, 1 of them 3 weeks ago started to swell is now huge and looks bigger from behind, he has got quite aggresive going for other fish when they come near her and especially when food comes out, she is VERY hungry, is she preggers or just a big fat pig??, she has slightly changed colour too, going more grey she is active and her scales are flat, anyone think she might be pregnant??
Thanks in advance

probaly is pregnant i have around 18 silver mollies if a sward like poo comes out its the fry
let her have birth in the tank (make sure its well planted)
then lift up certain oblects and net the fry when shes finneshed
do not put her in a net breeder unless its a large 1
otherwish she will get very stressed if your tank is well planted you can just leave the fry
to grow normaly the will eat mostly alge so dont over feed and if your tank is smaller than 80l
25% water cange weekly but if larger you can do it every fortnight

hope for you to be lucky =

Hi Zarebskifish
Thanks for your reply, just a question when you said a sward like poo, what does that mean, funny as about an hour ago she pooed and it was part poo and like a clear substance/poo really weird? is that what you mean, but no fry just a clear tube with a tiny bit of poo, (sorry to be so graphic!! lolO
