My White Molly Pregnant (Very Boxy) She Is Becoming Very Aggressive To

[luvtropical2]

My white molly is becoming very aggressive if any other molly comes near her she chases them away I have arranged the tank so there is floating raft made up of plants for her fry to hide as breeding hatcherys are awful things, the water is fine no ammonia or nitrite, and nitrate is 10-20 ph is 8, even if other mollys swim near her they get chased, I thought maybe she was getting closer to birth of her fry, 1st lot of fry for me with this molly my balloon molly gave birth in another tank 3 days ago and wasnt like this I thought they might be similar.......any suggestion well come thanks in advance

Molly temperaments can vary, I've had placid ones, I've had vicious hell-vixens. Unless you have another tank to isolate her in, the other tankmates are just going to have put up with it.

She has only been like this in the last week.....so was thinking she maybe getting close to birth .......I have another tank but currently doing a fishless cycle......I have seeded this tank from my other so it shouldnt take long I think another week or so before its ready was worried about her stress levels

It may be that she is more stressed due to impending birth, or it may be that she has developed a more feisty personality as she has matured.
