Coley asked:


I havd a fantail goldfish and when I got it from the pet store her tummy was biger than the others, and now she is at the bottem of the tank in the corner and wont move, but she is still breathing. So is she Dieing or giving birth?
If she isnt eating much than dose that mean she will die? What do I do if she was just overfed at the pet store?

How can you tell if Guppy has finished giving birth?

detcochran asked:


My guppy just had 7 fry but she still has a large dark spot and does not look very different than before giving birth. How long will it take and will the dark spot go away when she is finished??? I have her separated in a smaller tank with a lot of plants for the babies to hid. I already sprinked food (and crushed most of it for the babies) in the tank to hopefully keep her full so she does not eat the babies. I just do not want to keep her in there too long so hopefully the fry will survive.

What do female mollies do just before giving birth?

tomthefishman asked:


I have a balloon molly who is incredibly close to giving birth - her belly is stretched so much and she looks like she is ready to burst!

I know that just before birthing they swim up and down but is there anything they do before that?

She’s pooing a lot, would that be something to do with it??

Does anyone know? Please help…

Tom
Please don’t answer this question if you don’t know the answer.
