Pregnant Molly - How Do I Look After Her?

[emmaandmark]

I've got 2 female white mollies. The 1 gave birth last Sunday (4days ago), sice she has been swimming vertically face down, is this normal? I put it down to stress but she hasn't shown any improvements?? Help!!

Also my other molly is pregnant now and looking really big around the belly. I've bought a floating tank to try and save the fry but how do I know when she will be about to give birth??

If she headstanding no she's not good, sorry never known a fish to survive doing that.

Oh no, not good news for me then!! She was perfectly healthy until the birth though??

Any advice on how to tell when they will give birth?

Is she also resting on plants, how long have you had her as giving birth all the time takes it's toll on them.
Giving birth very fat, get moody and chase other fish away, plus hide away in plants.

When my balloon mollie gave birth she was like that but today she's fine.I read on the internet that some tend to do that after giving birth.Maybe you should give her more time and see how she does.
