hi
mollys don't have eggs there livebearers what other fish do you have in there

 

[WILDER]

Mollies are livebearers they give birth to live fry they don't lay eggs, do you have smails in your tank.

 

[MikeyMain]

does anyone know what the little brown things are? i dont have snails and its defo my mollie thats letting them pop out

 

[MikeyMain]

they arent moving also

 

[dolly_daydream]

hi again
well if its definitely your molly that's dropping them she probably was pregnant and shes miscarrying them,is she new to the tank

 

[WILDER]

Can you see them coming out of her, if so I would say she's aborted but never heard of brown eggs coming out of mollies.

 

[MikeyMain]

had her since nov around the start but why would she miscarry them or abort them?

 

[WILDER]

Stress, what are your water stats in ammonia,nitrite,nitrate,and ph, is any other fish stressing her out.

 

[dolly_daydream]

2 reasons usually 1 is she miscarries to make room for another litter that she has inside her,or 2 if shes been stressed like tank maintenance or moved from one tank to another for example don't worry she,ll be fine my guppies did the same

 

[MikeyMain]

An white mollie keeps following her around, may that be the problem and how would i fix it?

i just want some babies

 

[dolly_daydream]

you could try putting the white one in another tank,or seperating them,or putting some more females in there to give him something else to chase

 

[MikeyMain]

ive got my black one in a breeding tank, and the rest of my mollies died.
the breeding tank is the one with the v insert and the white mollie is hanging around the tank

 

[dolly_daydream]

OK lets start again.lets find out why your mollys are dieing,do you add salt to there water?.in what way did they die,i suggest if you want babies get more female mollys so he'll chase other fish and it will give her a break. then when one is pregnant wait till she get really large eventually she will look like she is gonna pop and she will try to hide away that's the time to put her in a breeding trap,if you do it before it will stress her and she will miscarry them

Ok i will go for the fish first thing in the morning! Thanks for the help
