Pregnant Balloon Molly

Question

Pregnant Balloon Molly This balloon molly has been this large for just about 2 months, is she pregnant? I assume so. I have just put her in her own tank hoping less stress would make her have her babies. Any thoughts on this? How long should she gestate for? I am thinking of putting a couple more pregnant molls with her to separate them from the rest of the fish, is this fine?

Answer
Hi Jacque,
It is pretty hard to tell with balloon mollies because they were bred to look like that, i.e., balloons. If you put other mollies in with her and she does give birth, the others will likely eat the kids.
