Heres pic of my new young balloon molly. I have it in with my orange molly.

guppy,

are u sure she's a balloon? she looks more like a pregnant regular lyretail molly... maybe it's the picture... she's a cutie!! awww a lyretail... i want a lyretail!!!

Congrats

it looks almost like a cross between a regular lyretail and a balloon...

guppycat · 03-08-2005, 08:41 PM

well it said on the shipment bag chocolate ballon. im not too familar with all the strains.

guppycat · 03-08-2005, 08:50 PM

Shes getting kinda agressive toward my other balloon so i seperated them for now.

chrisinha · 03-08-2005, 09:31 PM

you mean aggressive as chasing the other one around? if that's the case it's normal and i suggest you leave her in the tank, she will probably get over it!

guppycat · 03-09-2005, 10:38 AM

yes she chases the other one all over the tank,, and he gets so scared he hides. . do you think this will pass in time?

guppycat · 03-09-2005, 11:12 AM

Well she seems to be getting along good now with the other molly, and the guppies enjoy her too. all seems fine.

chrisinha · 03-09-2005, 11:15 AM

good. yeah, that's normal behavior. whenever i introduce a new molly, they chase each other around, even pick on each other!

guppycat · 03-09-2005, 12:15 PM

Well looks like the male balloon is following the female now. pursuing her. I think he wants to mate.

guppycat · 03-09-2005, 09:03 PM

Hi chrisinha: well hopefully if they have alot of babies I can give to the pet store. One place said they take them. They are such cool fish. do you have soem lyer tails?

chrisinha · 03-09-2005, 09:31 PM

no lyretails, unfortunately...

but some of the fry i thought was guppy's im starting to think they're actually mollies.

another thing i've heard a couple of days ago was that balloons can have regular molly fry

guppycat · 03-10-2005, 11:55 AM

chrisinha thats cool I didnt know they could have regular mollies, how interesting.
