rsh Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 So yesterday my black molly was VERY large, had a white opening near her anal fin and looked like she was about to give birth, but this morning, she looks small again and there is 0 evidence of fry. I have plenty of hiding spots for the fry, so if they were born I feel like I should see at least one somewhere. The fish still has the white spot near her anal fin, so I really dont know whats going on. I've attached pictures from both last night and tonight. Any ideas what could be happening?

Fish Folk Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 If girth went down substantially overnight, and if you clearly can discern that this is a female, it is possible she dropped fry. Some livebearers eat their young. Mollys sometimes do. It may be a sick fish. If it is, you’ll see evidence of it going downhill in the next month. Keep water changing regularly, and feed fresh foods in limited amounts. Here’s a full spawning report with sequential videos my son made awhile back on Mollys… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
