Pregnant Molly – Isolation??
Hi I found your site to be quite helpful but could not find the answer to my question which seems to be so simple…here it goes… I had 2 silver and 1 black molly and 2 platys. Four days after I bought my mollies, I noticed I suddenly had 3 fry’s swimming around my tank – wasn’t really sure who had the babies. Next night got home and 1 of my silver mollies were dead and had something sticking out of it’s tummy opening. Anyway now 3 weeks after having the mollies my other silver molly is now very and obviously pregnant. I did not want to isolate her as the floating breeding trap is so small, however my black molly is always very aggressive towards her and I am afraid it will cause her stress. So I removed her today and transferred her in the floating breeding tank however she seems to be more stressed in the isolation tank and is swimming as if she is trying to break out of this tiny space – honestly don’t blame her. Now I am afraid that I am only causing her more stress….but don’t
