Should I separate her from the other fish now?

[suzanne_mills_2008]

I have a very pregnant Balloon Belly Molly, she was pregnant when I bought her. I've had her since friday. I noticed today that she's started hanging out near the bottom of my tank. Is it time to separate her from the catfish and guppies?

yes you sould she and others could eat them put in some thing for them to hide all around in

Yes. And make sure to seperate her from the fry once she has had them, maybe put in a little fry plant for them to hide in or she will eat them.

yes it is. get some kind of floating breeder box and put her in it. feed her a little bit more than the other fish so she will get full and not eat her babies. then put some floating plants in there. 3 or 4 should be good. and wait. as soon as shes done put her in the tank with the rest of the fish

She will probably give birth really soon. You should separate her from her babies because she may try to eat them. I know, it's weird.

Hope this helps! Good luck
