She still has not given birth, she is so big now.

Well she out of the trap now and hasn't given birth, I think I may leave her in the tank and chance it. I did only leave her in the trap for 48 hours. Thanks for all your help. Stevie

Ok so I take her out tomorrow then? I do not know what to do conflicting information. Stevie

Oh ok thought you were only suppose to leave them in there for a couple of days do you think I should leave her in there then?

Well she is still hanging on, still in the breeding trap, if there is nothing there in the morning, then I shall take her out. Stevie

OK I have got her in, she seems ok, not thrashing about or anything, have turned light off as suggested, I could be in for a long night!

Oh hell, I didn't think she was that close, to drop tonight? Or tomorrow, shows what I know doesn't it. I do not have a breeding trap big enough, the one I have is small and would restrict her movement, I do have a breeding net though, and understand some may get eaten with them having nowhere...

Would you put her in a breeding trap, or net, or just leave her in the tank? Thanks

Really? Due any day, Oh my god, did think she was pregnant but wanted to ask just to be sure but did not think she was ready to give birth! Thanks for the prompt reply. Stevie

Hi there Could anyone tell me if my orange molly is pregnant? Thanks

Got a new tank today, a juwel 120, setting it up...tried the light worked left it on for a while it...it flicked off...was busy filling the tank so i didn't think anything of it till it flicked back on again....then after getting it all set up i turned the light back on...it worked...left it on...

I've taken everything back, except the mollies and the platy, as told these are the most hardy, and they'll help the tank to mature, i've told them about the white spot, and they said they'll continue treating them on site.They all still seemed fine today, but hopefully now the ones i have left...

Working on these parameters in the book, my tank with a 24' x 15' surface area isn't that 'massively' overstocked at the moment ? (see 'Rushed...' thread) Not questioning anybodies advice on here, just trying to get my head around things :good:

I have a book 'the bumper book of tropical fish keeping' by Dick Mills His ideas regarding tank size and fish stocking, suggest the surface water area of the tank is a lot more important that the over all volume of the tank , most people on forums seem to quote the volume of the tank with no...

Thanks again rdd I've just done another 30% water change, and will do another in the morning , hopefully with the ongoing water changes, the plecs will be ok I wasn't inferring you were accusing me of being stupid, i probably was just trying to reassure you that i wasn't with all the mistakes...

Hi again rdd Level readings in previous post. This again is an example of the misinformation you receive, i was told to add a couple of tea spoons to my size talk to add the recover of white spot, I said I had plecs in and knew they didn't like the salt, and was told they would be fine with...

Thanks lakey I'm in Yorkshire UK if anybody can help, this subject is yet another i haven't quite grasped yet, how would people have 'spare' filter media ? my thinking is if they take it out of there own filter they would be decreasing their own tanks defences ? and if it's left out of the...

Thanks for you thoughts Lola I did research, but it's hard when various resources conflict in the advice given, i was told a single SFF would be absolutely fine in a communal tank, and it has been no bother so far, the plecs were bought with a bigger tank in mind in the near future. I didn't...

Thanks for all the advise, were going to be doing water changes twice a day till the levels are right, hopefully we'll get a bigger tank at the weekend and transfer the filter to the new tank, to keep the bacteria growing , will this work ? I've been keeping a close eye on the fish, and today i...

Thanks for the advice , i knew the plecs would out grow the tank eventually, i am looking at getting a 240 ltr tank in the next month or so, but i have realised i'm still stupidly overstocked for now...the mollies have grown like 'I don't know what' within a week, the fish seem very at ease with...

I think i may have messed up big time..... :sad: I had a week old tank (60 ltr)....that I stuffed with fish... eg 5 x Neon 5 x dayglow 5 x Golden Barb 5 x cherry Barb 3 x mollies 2 x platy 2 x Sailfin plec 2 x Clown loach 2 x dwarf Gourami 2 x Zebra Danios 1 x siamise fighting fish...
