So I'm not sure what happen... but my Molly looks "broken" for lack of a better word. Her tail just sort of droops. She swims and eats but usually just hangs around like she is in these pics/videos.







I don't know if this is the one that had the baby because now they both look the same preggers wise. I noticed this yesterday - yes after I found the baby.

Thoughts???

that is normal... guppies, and mollies normally dies after giving birth
to a lot of fries.... and after a few weeks,young fries will be adult
again and reproduce

that is what we believe in the wild at the countryside... i am not sure if that is
true in captivity...

Live baring fish like these dont really live long Brooksie.
They have a Awful habit of going belly up after giving birth or sometimes for no reason at all.

Especially BLACK MOLLIES Iv had a fair amount of bad experiences with them.

And I just tested my levels because I read somewhere else online that it could be due to water conditions.... ammonia 0, nitrites 0, nitrates 10, ph 7.8. Hell those are better levels than I have in my big tank!!

I don't really mind them dying off - it is a feeder tank after all and I'm not attached to them. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't something else.

Brooksie you are breeding mollies to feed to your fish, so if one dies thats just too bad, its not cruel to only be thinking of getting as many as you can. Farmers probably have a similar attitude!!!

Thanks.. I know there are people on here that are against breeding feeders and against feeders all together. Personally, I am not against either. Thanks for the kind supportive words.

And thanks to everyone else for not "feeder bashing" me !
