Okay so yesterday I got myself a second Mollie. I already had one in my tank which I thought was a girl, but it turns out not.. When I put the second Mollie in my tank, the one I already had chased the new one around clearly trying to inpregnate it. This went on for a while then I had to go, and when I came back to check on the tank today, the mounting process had stopped and my female keeps hanging out near the top of the tank, not being too mobile, and trying to hide it seems. I do have alot of places to hide in my tank though thankfully so hopefully it feels safe. The male keeps going and almost trying to sniff (if it were a dog) the females ventral hole. I'm not quite sure what this is. Also, the female will sometimes fan her tail at him and then start to fight, but I only saw this happen one. But the male does keep chasing the female, not seeming to be hostile, if anything the female is just getting pissed at him for smelling her all the time. Should I be worried? Is this behavior normal? Is she pregnant now? how love should it be to expect fry? I also ave 2 platties and a betta in the tank, do you think the babies will get eaten?
But then again she is pretty big, maybe she is already pregnant?
Could someone post pictures of a pregnant Mollie?
Help!
