Question

[JLovesFish]

do you think i should put my fat mollie and my white molly in the breeder because my white molly i have been told is very squared of has a big appitite and is very independent and my orange mollie is really fat nearly squared of males try to mate and annoy her and she likes being alone

It depends if you really want to raise the fry or not? And if you do then do you have the space and resources to raise them? If not then just allow them to give birth naturally and the strongest fry will survive.

If you do want to raise them, then once they are squared of and are hanging around alone then pop her in the breeder box or breeder net, whichever you have, and wait. Try not to put them in too prematurely though as it can be quite a stressful experience.

Good luck.

[well i wanna raise the fry in a tank for themselves and my molly is really squared of and independent so i should put her in the breeding tank so she can give birth since i think shes been pregnent for about 5 and a half weeks

 

[JLovesFish]

oh and i think i should put them in the breeder but just to be sure i need someones opinion if i should put them in the breeder here they are heres my white one which i think is pregnent and very squared off


my other molly i think is pregnent and my other molly that is pregnent but not as pregnent since i saw her mating with my male.



and her she is again

So long as your breeder tank is cycled then I see nothing wrong with putting the silver molly in there. If it's actually a reasonable sized tank it should be ok if she's in there for a couple of days before she gives birth. Make sure there are plenty of floating plants etc for the fry as if she's not contained in a breeders trap then she will try to eat the babies once she's done.

so you do think i should move her to my breeding tank. does she look like she is going to have babys soon.

 

[Curiosity101]

From that picture she looks rather large. If you could get a head on and/or rear picture of her it'd be easy to tell. But like I said, if it's a breeding tank, not a breeder trap. Then yes, if it's fully cycled then stick her in there if you think she's going to drop soon.

oh and thanx for the help and sorry about the pix ill put new ones up later

WoW i love the orange mollie very pretty that is my fav colour!

 

[helterskelter]

What other fish do u have i can only see mollies and a crab

If it's just them then you should be able to rear the fry along side the adults if their all well feed.
