Pregnant fish

[carligraceee]

Having baby fish was not my intention. My kids loved their uncles fish so I just got fish for them

Honestly, it rarely is anyone's intention. Some people on here breed fish but I have met plenty who go through the same thing you do.

I went through it too, having random baby fry. For future reference, livebearers give birth like crazy. They are always breeding! If you don't want that, maybe try to sex them in the future and only get females. But that is hard, pet store employees sometimes make mistakes with that kind of stuff. So if you post it on here, you usually can get an answer pretty quickly. So if you ever go get more fish, post a pic of the fish you want from your store and we can try to identify its sex for you!

For now, you are doing awesome setting up a place for your baby fry. Mollies are awesome fish so having baby mollies will be so cool. You will see their awesome colors develop as well as their long, flowy fins! I'm jealous!

Those both look like females to me. Judging by their anal fins, do you have any other danios?

Now that looks like a male. At least from that picture. He could be the father. Seeing your danio next to your other female danio, she definitely looks pregnant.

That danio is the male and the other two or the females!

Should I take the yellow 1 out since that is a female also?

They do pop early in the morning, usually because it gives them more cover. You should be okay to wake up and then remove the adults into your holding tank OR try to remove the eggs into the holding tank. It won't be long is my guess, I am thinking around a week to two weeks at most until you have some baby danios!

You could but he likely won't mate with her. Danios mate for life.

that’s so pretty! it’ll be great for the babies too, once they are introduced! they will have plenty of places to hide and with the dark, faint light they can hide easily if they get bullied. awesome set up !
