Preggo Molly

[cobyshayngirl]

Recently we got our daughter a 10 gallon aquarium and she wanted black mollies. So we got her 3, Diego, Dora and Boots (I know, but she is only 3 1/2!). One died within a week. Another looked to be pregnant, but she didn't get very big. Then the other night we noticed 2 babies. We replaced the the dead one (since it had to go away to the "fish hospital and see the fish doctor" says my daughter), and then there were no babies! Looks like the newbie is quite the preggo Molly...she has squared off. Today she has been pooping red...does this mean she could be close? I don't have anything to put her in, well, what about a bowl until I can get to the pet store??? Any help/advice would be appreciated!

I went back in to take a picture and there were 2 babies in the tank. Now, the first 2 babies hid...a lot...and very well. So I wonder if these could be the same two babies???

I have tried adding a photo but it's saying my image is too large...not sure how to make it smaller.

Try posting the pics again. Here's the steps
Find the pic you took. Find the URl code. copy the EXACT code. Write a reply in fishforums and go to the icon that says Insert Image. Then paste the URl code into there and press ok. The picture should work then.

If you have the stuff as part of what you are posting, you can post it as if it is plain text like this.

When I add the ] back into the first set of brackets, the picture looks like this instead of just so much text.

If you go to your browser and create a new tab, you can paste the part starting with the http and finishing with the jpg and you will see the same picture come up on your browser. Or you could click directly on the text and it should automatically create a new tab and open the picture for viewing. The
