You can tell as early as 1 or 2 weeks old if you have a magnifing (sp) glass...Or you could wait until they are around 4-6 weeks to tell..

Is the tank light supposed to heat the water if oyu leave it on a long time? it seems mine does it from time to time...I was just asking to see what every thought.. :)

Mollies and Platies are very much alike, I dont know what type of babies they would have.. Have you ever heard of a Guppy breeding with a Molly or a Molly breeding with a Guppy? I had that happen but I dont think they got pregnant!! :fun:

They are more than likely pregnant!! A female can have babies up to 4 times without a male... My guppies are never real fat when they have babies, so I guess every fsh are different... If she looks like busting you may want to put her in the breeder net...Is it a net or plastic breeder box...

OMG :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Im sorry thats all I can do!!!!!! when its feeding time at my house they all come to the top to see which gets the first flake... Even my Pleco "Fred" comes to the top :lol: :lol: :unsure: :blink:

Are they breathing rapidly? My Mollies and Guppies scratch on the rocks, they have no sign of white spot or anything, My water test are fine, I am thinking it might be gill flukes (my fish) so I am treating the tank with some live bearer stuff (I cant think of the name too early in the morning...

I currently have 3 Guppies, and 3 Black Lyretail Mollies in a tank together, and there has been no problems what so ever, they pretty much stick together and the Males are to busy breeding :lol: I sometimes see one of my female Guppies chasing the Mollies around but that is about it...But I...

This is my first batch of Mollies, so my female was pretty big when she had hers, I hear people on here talking about labor, well NONE of mine ever show signs of labor, I breed Guppies as well, they still eat, and everything while in labor :blink: Its the wierdest thing I have ever seen...So...

:fish: :hi: Hello and welcome...Everyone here is very nice and I have learn alot from this site...Have a Great Day

I have had the same problem...I have a 5 1/2 gal with Guppy fry in there, and the Nitrites got up to 5.0!! :no: I posted on here and everyone really helped..I did water changes everyday 10-20% It has finally went down :D and still going down, its at about .50, (I have to check it today)...

How old are the little ones? You can get a magnifing(sp) glass and look at them through that, females will have a tiny gravid spot...if they are older then the Males fin will start to point... Other than that its the only way I know of to sex them :)

Thanks for replying Dragon, yes I have 14 fry, and this one is about a month old!! I havent noticed anything wrong with him until today...I cant destroy him, I couldnt live with myself..so I will watch him and hope for the best, Hes swimming and eating fine..so I will keep my fingers crossed

What type of filter do you have? is there air bubbles? you might add a air stone it might help..I am not a expert but someone may can help you better have you treated your tap water? is there clorine(sp) in oyur tap water? you may get some stress coat to help with the stress of the fish

I have one Guppy fry that has a brown thing on his stomach, and white like poop, I tried to look at him through a magnafying(sp) glass but really cant see it...I know its brown and looks like his stomach is busting!! :sad: Please help!! I dont know of any meds that are safe for Fry!?!?!?! My...

Guppies carry their babies for about 22-30 days which I have one that gives birth at 19-21 :unsure: My Molly gives birth every 30 days on the dot!!! so I guess it varies from fish to fish

It was hard to choose!!!!! I have a Betta that is different colors "Bubba" he is sooo pretty, but aggressive :lol:

Ok thanks all..I will cut back to once a week.. No they arent breeding cause they are no where near other fish.. My guppies yawn (if we are talking about the same thing) every once in a while but not all the time :*) I feel soooo bad now

I try to do them 3 times but sometimes its 1 or 2 times a week depends on how busy I am..But maybe thats what it is..My Male has been doing it for about 5 days

2 of my Black Mollies I think have shimmies (I thinks thats how to spell it) They sit in one spot and shake back and forth...I was wondering what is the best meds for this? My water conditions are fine... ammonia= 0 Nitrite= 0 Nitrate= 0 ph= 7.6 I do 20% wc 3 times a week, gravel cleaning once...

CONGRADS on the babies :D Are the swordtails bigger than the guppies? How old are the guppies? I had put some new born guppies in the same tank with older ones and the older ones picked on the small ones but no major problem though. I dont know about swordtails but I have 25 black mollies...

If the Platie looked like she was gonna bust and now shes skinny then she has had her babies!!! Did you see the dark gravid spot on her? If she has had her babies then check the gravel, plants or any other hiding place you have in you tank, some might have been lucky to escape being eaten and...

It sounds like your dog might have had (now I am gonna try to spell it :lol: ) cociada something like!! :*) No I didnt try the collar, but I had my baby at the Vet today for him to look at it and he said its fine thats its basically healed, and he told me to put bitter apple around it so it...

Bettas have their own personality...I have one in a 5 1/2 gal with a pleco that is VERY small (hasnt grown any in 1 1/2 month) "Bubba" is VERY aggresive!! He wont allow any other fish in there except for "Little Bit"...So putting a Betta in a community tank is up to the Betta you get if hes not...
