New Pregnant Balloon Belly Molly

[omgitzmollie]

Hi
Today I bought 4 balloon belly mollies 2 male 2 female, one of the females im positive is pregnant, i have breed black mollies, guppies, and platiez all of which were sucsessful.

I have never owned a balloon belly molly before and this female, dotty, has isolated herself and has not moved since i put her in the tank, she hasnt eaten either. I know these are common signs of labor but she doesnt look bigger than the other female and she doesnt have a squared off stomach. I am conserned that she has gone into labor due to stress.

Any help would be greatly appritiated, anything about keeping fry, past experiences, ect. Would be great.

Thanks,
Mollie

It could just be the stress of the new home, and she's just settling in, rather than dropping fry prematurely.
