what does a damation molly look like if its pregnet???

Question

pics plzzzz

and how long does it take to have babies and how long would it take for it to get pregnent

Answer 1

The gestation period is 28 days
They get very big and get a squared look to them underneath their head, I don't have a pic of a dalmatian mollie, but here is a video that shows a guppy, they have the same distinctive belly underneath their head before they get their fry

As for the breeders, PLEASE don't put her in there, it's way to small for a dalmatian mollie, they get really stressed out in there
Get instead live plants for your tank that your fry can hide
I actually just found about 4 days ago 15 baby mollies in my tank, they are now I think about 10-14 days old, judging on their size

To your other question, they can have fry up to 6 times without a male in the tank, because they can store the sperm for future fry, they have fry about once a month



Hope that helps
Good luck

Answer 2

Mollies are prolific breeders and live-bearers, and have been known to eat their own fry (babies). They can have hundreds of fry at once. If you want the babies, put the Molly in a small plastic floating breeding tank. The fry drop below the mom and then she can be released to the rest of the tank and you can begin to feed the babies fry food until they are several weeks old and can join the tank. I don't have a picture of a pregnant Mollie at the moment, but usually if you look at the fish from the top, one side or the other will be more bulgey.
