Balloon Molly Pregnancy

[vetra70]

My silver balloon molly has been pregnant for over a month whenshould it have them?

I'm not an expert but from my understanding, they will give birth about every 28 days.
I have a molly that when she was first put in the tank laid eggs due to the stress, but she has not given birth since. I'm starting to wonder if she ever will.

sorry I couldn't give much info, I'm new myself to pregant mollies.

mommacakes is correct. usually once a month for a few months in a row, but you may need to coax her to give birth. if you want to learn more... here is a helpful link!

A month. If kept in warm water.

it will usually take about a month to a month in a half thats how long mine took to give birth

I have to disagree with the 30 days
i have a silver XL molly and the period of time is more like 70 days.
i have heard of longer but not much.
mine is now getting quite heavy and would expect her to drop in about 1-2 weeks and i put her in one of my breeding tanks in mid may.
i think standard black mollies tend to be between 30-40 days but how a balloon molly differs from mine or the standard i'm unsure.
