Pregnant mollies

[Emilyanne1]

Hey guys
2 of our fish seem to be pregnant, would you say so? We only noticed this on Saturday so are unsure as to how long they have been pregnant for. The guys in pets at home advised we keep them in this cage until they give birth and then move them back into the tank and leave the babies separate so they don’t eat them?
Any more advice or knowledge would be appreciated. My back is hurting from standing in the kitchen waiting for them to give birth. Also is there any indicators that the are due soon to watch out for? We are new to all this so any help would be greatly received
Thank you xx

I can't tell you if your mollies are pregnant, I've never kept them. But putting them in that breeder box (the formal name for your "cage") is what I would do. Good luck!

It’s called a hatchery cage that’s why I put cage. We’ve let them back into the tank for now as they are not ready to give birth and they were getting stressed out being cooped up in there x
