Mollies

[auntiebuttons]

Can anyone tell if Black Mollies are likely to eat Balloon Mollies or Black Widows? I have 3 Black Mollies and they are quite vicious to the other fish in the tank.

Also, 2 of my 3 Balloon Mollies have HUGE stomachs now. Could they be pregnant? How can you tell when a fish is pregnant?

Well, it depends what genders your mollys are, what size tank they are in, and what other fish you have in the tank with them and their genders.
Its quite hard to tell in black mollys, but their chest will go very large and so will their stomache when they are near the end of their pregnancy making them look a bit box/square shaped.
Couldn't help you with balloons as they look pregnant 24/7 to me.
