last night my beauty was hanging around the bottom of the tank and her back end in the air this morning shes swiming but sometimes swims up and down the hight of the tank heres a great pic of her

The behaviour she is displaying is that of when they are ready to drop

 

[chrisandmarie]

so in the pic does she look like shes getting ready?

how long do you think she has left?

 

[5teady_2012]

a more clearer pic would be better, i cant see her belly, a overhead view is always good as well.

Also check my pinned thread in this section on how to know.

 

[chrisandmarie]

ill try to get one now

 

[chrisandmarie]

its not a right good pic as she keeps moving ,little bugger shes started swimming up and down the tank again

 

[chrisandmarie]

here is a better birds eye veiw

 

[5teady_2012]

Hard to say lol, from the birds eye view she dont look ball shaped enough in the stomach, but like i said, mollies can be hard to tell..

her belly from side view says yes, overhead says no.

grrrr, this is a tough one

 

[chrisandmarie]

This is what i think, going by my knowledge and experience in livebearers..

She is just well fed and not far on pregnant, the front part ot the belly is dropped down, this is cos she is well fed, the back of her belly aint that much dropped.

The back end of her will drop lot more when heavy pregnant, like in the pic below, i have drawn a line to represent how she would be if far on..
