Pregnant Black Molly! Watch Her Progress!

[SinJin]

Hey guys! i recently found out that my Black Molly is in its first stages of pregnancy thanks to hughe! So being obsessive i went ahead and purchased an aquarium nursery for 10 bucks here: http/www.aquariumguys.com/aquanursery.html i have read the reviews for it and they are all good. this is an in-aquarium nursery because i could not afford another tank. i will post pics of her pregnancy stages in this thread!
I named her Charry and the other male Coal, because they are black like charcoal

First Week

^^She is a little plump as you can see^^

She is showing symptoms as described in 5teady's thread. Staying near the filter and heater and swimming slower, also being more antisocial. I will try to feed them and check on my oranda and his eye discoloration...


Day 2
UPDATE: She has gotten more plump and squaring off some more!

Day 3
UPDATE: She is very skittish lately but her appetite is up. Also instead of the male following her she is following the male,oddly the angel too. I guess its because they are the ones that get to the food 1st.

^^^She is following the angel Hades alot^^^

^^^Here she has gotten A LOT more plump, and still following the male and the angel^^^

Hi SinJin

Looks like you molly has got some way to go,i haven't seen one of them nurseries before,i wouldn't advise putting her in just yet has it'll stress her out.

Good luck with her
