How can i tell if my silver molly is pregant?

Question

i have 2 silver mollies. the pet shop said they were both females. i have a black lyre tail male mollie. One of the silver mollies is very very fat compared to the other silver one. the fat one stays twards the top of the tank and the slinder silver stays in the middle of the tank. The 2 silver ones hang out sometimes in the middle of the tank. Is she ready to have fry? I am good at breeding guppies but new to mollies and platies.

Answer 1

If you are good a guppies, then you are good at mollies even if you didn't know it. All the signs are the same, just sometimes harder to see on a molly dues to denser colors.

Answer 2

You can tell if your milly is pregnant by 2 things:

1.) The back of her should be dark, like around th area where waste is released.

2.) if she is really fat.


A lot of times when mollies are pregnant they want to hide, be by thmselves or stay near the back on the bottom.
