Molly Pregnant or Fat? Pic

ravekiss · 02-24-2005, 11:10 AM

Is she pregnant or just chubby?

chrisinha · 02-24-2005, 05:06 PM

it looks like a lyretail balloon molly to me, so it's its normal figure.

i've lost my lyretail and have been looking for another one... im jealous!

I dont think its a balloon molly, it looks like one because of the picture. Mollys are usually chubby all the time though

chrisinha · 02-24-2005, 10:48 PM

yeah, maybe it's the "angle" the picture was taken...

ravekiss · 02-28-2005, 09:13 AM

Its a lyretail but not a balloon...I hope she is pregnant..

nosilver4u · 02-28-2005, 04:38 PM

i'd say she looks pregnant, but i've never had a lyretail, so i couldn't say for sure

are there males in the tank? livebeares are like rabbits of the aquarium world and can even be preganet when bought if they are older then 4 monthes. If it is over 4 monthes old and has ever been in a tank with a male its most likely pregnant.

judging by the angle I would say that it is a future mama.

congrats.

Is she eating? Swimming normally? Any signs of stress (ich velvet)? SHe could be pregnant but if thats not a baloon mollie, then she is really pregnant or has a disease as she is very fat.

ravekiss · 03-09-2005, 08:41 AM

She was pregnant after all...when I woke up yesterday morning..there were babies in the tank!! I only found 5 of them though...and 1 other fry, not sure if its guppy or sword because I got pregnant females!

Recently I bought some fat mollies, hoping they were pregnant mums, and indeed they are. Now I have more than 80 babies. But unfortunately some mothers died after giving birth. And some died because they couldn't give birth and the babies inside them died also. Anyone know what was wrong? Is it because of too much food??
But I saved some babies, just before the mums died, when they looked like fainting in the water almost going to die, I pressed their stomach and released the babies alive! Well, of course the mum died after that, but at least I got 10 babies alive.
Don't try this, I felt very bad after that and couldn't eat my meal. And not all fat mollies are pregnant, I pressed one and instead of babies coming out, intestines came out. So, never try this.
