Molly pregnant?

[ThatFishGirl6231]

Is my female molly pregnant? If so when do we think she’ll give birth. It’s very possible she’s pregnant bc i have 2 male mollies and 1 male guppy in the tank.

Hi. I'm no expert but I do have 3 female and 2 male mollies and have had one of my mollies give birth 2 times and going by the pic you posted it does not appear to be pregnant. Having said that,you know the appearance of your fish on a daily basis. If it seems that her belly has gotten bigger recently then she most likely is pregnant. As far as giving birth it's very hard to put a time to it because mollies can actually sort of pick when they are ready. If she is not feeling safe she can wait to decide to birth the fry. But a sign that she is close and a good time to separate her from the rest of the tank is when she develops a bulge below her gills and her underside will become sorta square like. By square i mean her bulge or rounded belly will look more squared . from my experiences i would strongly recommend a net breeder as opposed to the plastic floating breeders. For 1 the slits in most floating birthing boxes are to big and the fry end up in the tank

i’ll be more specific sorry. I’ve seen males try to get her pregnant VERY MANY times. She had her last batch of fry 4/21/21 so it’s been 2 months. Her last batch I think was only 5 and it was her first batch.

ok then usually they give birth each month. so 2 months is normal i guess
