Molly - How Long?

[random919]

This is my silver female molly. how long do you think it will be before she drops? I am so excited as i have never had babies before.

i really need to know ASAP. I have never bred fish before so i don't know what to look for. She has become dark near the back of her belly if that helps at all.

There is a pinned thread how do you know when your live bearer is ready to drop fry....this should help a great deal until one of the experts sees your thread.... Sorry could not be of further assistance but I am still learning even after 2 lots of fry...lol

Like scales9 says look at that thread. She is big, but the tell tale sign is when they go square. The bottom of her belly will go like a straight line, you will see a white thing sticking out the back end of her which is the birthing tube, and she will start hovering around by herself. That's when you know she is ready.
Here is the link to the thread to see what to look out for.
