i bought a silver lyertail molly 2 and a half weeks ago and when i got her she was huge. she looked about ready to give birth.......shes squared off and acting like shes ready but its been 2 and a half weeks and shes still definatly prego still. i have the water at 72 and the levels are all good and i put one tablespoon of salt as it is a ten gallon tank. i dont know if shes just holding on to them till she comfortable or what but i dont want her to die, or get ill from holding them. i had mollies a few years back and some of them did hold them "too long" and died before giving birth. if you want me to add a pic of her let me know. she does have the opening in her hind quarters and it seems to be open but its been years since i tried to breed mollies and maybe im forgetting something? someone please help is there anything else i can do to help her out?
