Preggers Ballon Molly- How Long Till Drop

[boost-67]

i bought some balloon mollys today at the local petco, one of which appears to be VERY pregnant and i wanna know how long till i need to put her into the breeding tank i have.? shes being antisocial and not really paying attention to anything around here including feeding time. shes still swiming around but is tending to stay in one spot for a while b4 moving and shes tending to just kinda chill in the corners near the top of the water. ok enough talk heres the pics ( excuse the poop )

u can see the white spot in these

Due to the breeding of deformed fish to produce ballooned fish it's impossible to say when their close to giving birth.
Also as you only got the fish today you cant use any of regular rules like sitting on corners, hiding or antisocial as these have only just been introduced and will be highly stressed as they are.

All you can do is give then time to settle in and watch them, when you see fry then net them out to a fry tank.
If you only have libebearers in the tank, then you should be ok rearing them along side the adults.

Well posted HS. As you say,the deformity known as balloon makes it impossible to accurately predict the state of a molly's pregnancy.
