Hello everyone!! I am a complete noob at the whole fish tank world. I have a pregnant Mollie and a male that will not leave her alone. What can i do to help her through this time. I do not have another tank to seperate them either. Any suggestions would be really apreciated.
Thanks
 
How many gallons does the tank hold? You should have at least 2-3females per male, even if the molly was not pregnant she would still be getting far too harrassed by the male molly. Also mollys can produce alot of fry which take a year to mature and can produce 100fry in a single pregnancy, you are not going to be able to raise that amount of fry in your average tank so i'd advice you be prepared to let them fend for themselves in the main tank otherwise you'll have more than what you can cope with.
