Molly Fish Breeders!! Questions! Other Fish questions!

[daisym6]

Ok, I have a very pregnant fish that I got from the petstore (Molly Fish) (She looks like a Balloon Molly! :D) I was wondering if any of you guys know the signs of labour... She is not moving around much (mostly on the bottom) and she doesn't eat much either.
I also have what I think is a female Swordtale and she is SUCH a bully! I got a new fish today and she chased it until he's litterally dieing. I was thinking of getting a tank seperater (This is the 2nd) fish she was... uh responsible of. The other fish are fine. Help!

Sorry I can not help you but just to let you know my algae feeder fish died today after many years company. It was my best remaining pet and now it is gone for good.

[daisym6]

Jonny, I'm so sorry! I know how you feel though, I lost my family member... otherwise known as my pet rat! Daisy.

Did the budgies survive?

[boxtops]

Are you sure she's pregnant and that it's not swim bladder problems? - usually the babies just pop out when they are ready.
Swordtails are notorious - they are shark-fish - they will chase anything that runs away. It's really not fair on your other fish who only want a quiet life, she's looking for her dinner. Keep her separate.

But seriously - did the budgies survive being grabbed?

[boxtops]

I'd like to know too...

[Mosaic]

From the ensuing silence, I'm guessing the budgies never made it.

[daisym6]

Yes Mosiac they did survive.

[daisym6]

Ok guys forget the pregnant molly because she died. :(
So just answer my questions about the Swordtail.

[Mosaic]

...anyone else got a feeling the swordtail may follow the molly soon?

[daisym6]

Oh my gosh Mosiac... NO the Swordtail is perfectly fine. What your saying is I'm not a good owner. NOT FAIR! You don't know me... AT ALL!
All I want to know is if I should get a tank seperater and what I should do with her getting new fish.

[daisym6]

If your not going to help don't answer.

[Mosaic]

But I have answered, asking if the budgies survived your training regime. Possibly the molly didn't like being grabbed either, I don't know. Use your common sense with your animals. If a bigger one attacks a smaller one, well....?

[daisym6]

I never HELD the Molly! Goodness.

[daisym6]

And of course the Budgies survived!

[daisym6]

Can my question just get answerd please?

[ummmm]

If it's bullying the other fish then separate it. That's just using common sense!!

[EvianBaby]

It's funny you have a Molly because you remind me of someone called Mollykins.

[daisym6]

ummmm thanks and I was just making sure it won't stress her.
