I Think My Sunburst Molly Is Going To Have Fry

[Harlequins]

Ok thank you so much. I was looking in my tank and i have two dalmation molly and the one looks like it is getting big but i cant tell if its male or female what do you think? i attach a photo i hope it worked

From size - It looks like a heavily pregnant female,a better pic would be good does he/she have a pointed fin or a rounded fin in front of its anal hole?

Regarding your guppy,like hugesomefish mentioned,the easiest way is to catch the fry has opposed to trapping the female,especially guppies,who have a tendency to jump out of the trap,or like your other one,unfortunately dies,guppy get more stressed,well thats what i found with mine...
What other fish do you have in the tank?
Make sure you have plenty of cover,like plants etc for the fry to hide in,this makes their survival better until you catch them,although they do hide well,you may not spot them at first,invest in a turkey baster,they are a god send for sucking up fry out of the tank
Good luck

Which fish were you talking about? The orange died this morning sadly but now im trying to find out about the black and white one. Its hard to tell with the black and white ones if they r male or female they keep there find tucked in. i have lots of plants.

1 sunburst molly
2 Dalmation Mollys
4 Bloodfin Tetras
4 Neon Tetra
6 Guppies
6 Tiger Barbs
2 Algae Easters
1 Red tail Shark
1 African clawed Frog

And they never bother each other, the Tiger Barbs r going to go in another tank along with the shark but i may just put all the prego fish in the extra tank. Im not to sure what to do yet.

You may be better setting up a fry tank,with your fish stocking they will all eat fry if they see them

Aww sorry it died, was it cus of stress?
Yes I would get a tank divider or fry birthing tank, I don't like stuffing pregnant fish in nets or boxes I've lost many fry due to egg drop and mom die cus of stress in cramped box.
