I’m finding this fish has a mysterious white spot. seems like some sort of fungus. a black molly of mine has it all over as well. Will pimafix cure this? What is it?? I have a guppy currently giving birth right now too. will meds be safe for babies?
I agree! A separate post would be more beneficial to you! However, to answer your question, if you think she is about to pop, it may not be a bad idea! Keep us updated :)
How was the birth?? Was it shortly after? The front of her belly isn't very boxy at this point, so I'd have guessed another week, give or take a couple of days.
Well, reason being it's a tank full of cichlids. They will be eaten by everyone else in the tank. Mouthbrooders will incubate their young in their mouth until they are ready to be spit out and once they are out, they are on their own. There is no parenting or care beyond this. It's our only...
Well, my roommate found these eggs. Normally he gets them out of the mouth of the cichlid after about a week or so of it holding them, and he'll put them in this incubator while they absorb the rest of the yolk. These must have just fallen out. I'm not completely sure how he found them. The...
***UPDATE***
Both my guppy (pictured above) and black molly had babies today AT THE SAME TIME!! It was crazy. Here are some pics!
You can see the first two I found when I looked into the little breeder!
32 guppy fry and 12 molly fry! PHEW!! Anyone need any guppies...heh..heh....
Here are some examples!
Here's the difference between my pregnant female that is deciding to drop a couple each day randomly throughout the tank (-_-) and a non-pregnant female:
Here's another pic from the same pregnant guppy I posted earlier. You can see the gravid spot and the boxy...
Belly gets super plump, dark gravid spot (black spot towards anal fin in the pic) gets bigger, sometimes you can see the eyes of the babies in the gravid spot. You'll notice she looks rather "boxy" \___/ type of shape, and that tells me the big day is almost here!
Ps, sorry for the large pictures in the first post. Just learned how to do the pictures correctly hahah Still nothing from mama guppy (pictured) but I'm expecting it to be verrrryyyy soon.
Babies abound!! Here are some peacock cichlid eggs we found and incubated.
Here are some peacock cichlid babies that just started free-swimming:
And we have a guppy that is about to BURST!
this tank is seeing a lot of love. It’s spring, I guess!! Should I mark today as day one? And is it a couple of weeks or 60 days of pregnancy? Either way, updates to follow! (slight feeling this female molly won’t make it, though...she doesn’t look too active...does mating make the female seem...
Beautiful black molly. Brought home not too long ago. How long do you think this mommy-to-be has left until she meets her babes?? Hard to tell on the black mollies. Sorry about the quality of the pic. Maybe I can get a better one...
