Hi
I have a pregnent molly and i can see the gravid spot clearly how long is it till she gives birth???????n she’s a silver or plain white molly, i have one female and a bunch of males what do i do ???? i have a thirty gallon tank , thanks so much
Just a note on fish tanks, A rule of thumb is 1 inch of fish per gallon. Add circulation/aeration it goes to 2 inches of fish per gallon. Add filtration it goes up to 3 inches of fish per gallon. No need to include the tails when counting inches of fish.
For best filtration use an under gravel filter with 1/2 pound of gravel per gallon of tank. (my personal opinion and experience.)
i have a question about a mollies. i have a molly that i think might be pregnant and she looks like she might have fur where it look like she is pregnant
