You could but he likely won't mate with her. Danios mate for life.

They do pop early in the morning, usually because it gives them more cover. You should be okay to wake up and then remove the adults into your holding tank OR try to remove the eggs into the holding tank. It won't be long is my guess, I am thinking around a week to two weeks at most until you...

Now that looks like a male. At least from that picture. He could be the father. Seeing your danio next to your other female danio, she definitely looks pregnant. That danio is the male and the other two or the females!

Those both look like females to me. Judging by their anal fins, do you have any other danios?

Oh okay, I read it could be a sign of ich. She only does it like a couple of times and then stops for days and then does it again.

I recently found out that Watson is now Emma... lol but I have always noticed some flashing from her every now and then. It wasn’t consistent, it doesn’t happen every day. Maybe two times a week but i just want to know if she is showing off or not. I use AQAdvisor stocking calculator, I’ve...

Okay so adding extra media also helps! I am planning on adding a sponge media alongside my carbon filter media from top fin. I was thinking about this because it I added another platy I would technically be overstocked (I’m not overstocked right now). But then again, if you take great care of...

I was thinking this. I thought against it because she has been alone for months (without a male) and has always had this silvery sheen on her belly. She just recently was joined by a small bumblebee platy and then she started to get a bit rounder the last few days. Could she seriously be...

Oh, I think just because of your angelfish it might be overstocked. Without the angelfish, you could still fit some fish in that tank. I would add an extra filter if you really wanted more fish in the future. Is it a carbon filter? If so add a sponge filter in front of it in your filter! I plan...

Yeah I think she is just relaxing. About your tank... what size is it? If you have good filter capacity and know how to keep up with water changes, you can add a few extra fish to your "normal" capacity. Everyone's opinion is different with stocking levels so I use this...

Honestly, it rarely is anyone's intention. Some people on here breed fish but I have met plenty who go through the same thing you do. I went through it too, having random baby fry. For future reference, livebearers give birth like crazy. They are always breeding! If you don't want that, maybe...

Oh I know about the ratio (I have mollies lol). I am thinking about grabbing one more platy! I keep up with water changes and tank health really well so I have gotten permission to have a good amount of fish in my 11.2g. The male is pretty young still, he hasn't even really reached an inch...

Danios are egg layers! But, in my opinion, she does look pregnant. Gosh you really are full of baby fry! But keep in mind my female platy has always been pretty round. The key to finding out if they are pregnant is if they have circular shapes in their tummy. Those will continue to get bigger...

Do yours just chill? Like she sits in the middle-top of the water and just chills there. Do your's do that? That is what made me worried because she is usually pretty active. I was thinking she might just be resting. I have one male platy in there as well and he likes to swim around her so maybe...

Okay, so with those toys, your fry should be fine. Just go out and get some more large plants and some moss balls! Try to isolate gold dust molly for a few hours to a day at most and then reintroduce her to your main tank. It should help! I am glad you are using my advice form earlier! Just...

Oh I see! So they are just with the pleco? Or the pleco and your bully gold dust molly? Either way, the toys you put in there are perfect. I would just add moss balls and plants. Keep the tank clean, the pleco will help with that and feed often but clean out uneaten food because they are very...

But yes, this person is correct! Plants will be of great help because it will provide a lot of oxygen and hiding spots. Your 20g set up is perfect! I put some moss balls in there as well but those floats are exactly what you want. Your fish will be very happy in there. Are they alone in the...

Hey guys. This is sally. Is there something wrong with her? She’s always been kind of round but i just want to make sure there isn’t something up. Sorry about some photo bombs, my mollies like attention lol. I know her tail is messed up, she jumped out of the tank awhile back ?

So she has relaxed a bit. I noticed that she was eating a spot in the rocks that had been uncovered from a plant floating upwards. I think she is food aggressive. Is there any way to fix that or do I just have to deal with it?

She is also chasing away my baby male platy (who is probably not more than .75 inches). But she is fine when she around the male molly (Darth).

Oh gosh of course. Thank you so much. That means my ratio is this... 3 females: 1 male But then why is the black and orange one being so aggressive? After the isolation the other fish are doing great with each other now. In fact, two of the girls are hanging out together. But Von (who...

All three of these fish have been agressive towards my female molly. I was thinking it was because of food (I dropped an algae crisp in there for my shrimp, snails and ottos. But my mollies love them and were hounding them. Ever since then, these three have been aggressive and I decided to put...

Okay so I’ve always known mollies tend to be aggressive. Especially the males. But I have been able to fix this situation in the past and wanted help sexing my mollies! If they are males, then i have too many males and i need to replace two of them with females (i have one female molly and one...

Yes, freeze-dried brine shrimp. Usually, livebearers only eat their young because they are so small they are mistaken for food. It won't happen all the time but it is advised to remove the young or give them plenty of space to hide. Generally speaking, the young will probably not emerge until...

He has mollies and they are known to eat their fry (mine did and it was awful). But not every molly does it. It is only because they mistake them for food. But yes, this person is correct! Plants will be of great help because it will provide a lot of oxygen and hiding spots. Your 20g set up...

Alright so I would think around 50 days would be my guess. She will get pretty big but the second you see her lose weight, search your tank. Again, I recommend purchasing floating toys for baby fry. Petco has some and I’m sure petsmart or even your local pet supply plus should have them. They...

Yeah of course! And that depends on how long she has been showing signs of pregnancy. But mollies tend to give live birth within 45-60 days!

Okay she might just have an attitude problem that needs adjusting. Isolating her for a bit (just a few hours, maybe 4 or 5) should do it. If it continues, check your water quality, jf it is good, they might just not be fans of each other and it’s your decision whether she should go back or you...

That looks right to me. Their builds tend to be different. I find the females have rounder bellies than the males. Their fins are slightly different too. if the female is being aggressive, taking her out for a couple hours and then putting her back in the tank should shape her up. I had to do...
