they are usually pregnant for around 4-6 weeks before they have the babies, however the parents will usually eat the babies within the first few hours.
(if your fish is about to have baby mollies i recommend separating the mother into a smaller tank using the same water they are currently in and separating the mother as soon as they are born or the other fish will eat them)
hope that helps.
All male live bearers (yes, including mollies) are always eager to breed. Whether females are, or not.
It will be chasing it around near it's butt and stabbing it with it's gonopodium...
They generally live for 3-5 years.
if her toach is bigger than usuall
Well...If they are Molly Babies, then they look as if they are dead babies named Molly! DURSH
Keep her in a separator and when the babies hatch remove her go two pet store and get special food
Molly Is Pregnant With Kevin
In dropsy the scales stick out from the body like a wood rasp. If your female molly has been in a tank where there is a male molly present then it is almost certain that she is gravid (pregnant).
Sometimes they will, but most of the time the babies are black. My Molly Fish just had babies and all but one was black. The other one was brown. So, yeah. They can be brown.
Idon't no if this will help but if there is a male in the same tank as the female molly then 80% of the time the female is pregnant.

sell the babies but keep 1.
no.
usually most mollies have a gravid spot meaning it is a black spt near the anal fin and these are found on colored mollies where on a black molly, you can see it cause the mark is black but if you have an orange molly definetly a gravid spot and when she is ready to birth, she will look like a square where her stomach is. good luck! :)
there bellis are slightley bigger than the others also they have a black spot on bellie.and it lays on the bottom a lot . but DONT LET THE MALES CHASE HER OR SHE AND THE BABIES WILL DIE
