She's been getting bigger and bigger. About two weeks ago I was thinking she was going to have her babies within the next day or two, but clearly I was wrong. Here's a picture of her from tonight. Any idea when she'll give birth?

Uhhhh definitely soon I would hope because my feeder guppies look like they'll explode before they give birth. However this is a Monster Fish Keepers forum and I'm not aware of any threads related to guppies, mollys, etc. Maybe another forum is more specialized in the questions you are asking? Best of luck!
 
Thanks for the response. Unfortunately I just came home from work to find her dead at the bottom of the tank. She didn't look like she had given birth yet. She was still huge.


Any idea what may have happened or how I can prevent it from happening again?
 
She probably was not pregnant just bloated
 
She didn't look pregnant to me. Mine get round bellies when pregnant. She looks more bloated because her chest is puffed up to and she's flat on the bottom. Sorry for your loss.

If you have smaller fish you might want to join our sister site Aquaria Central. It's more tailored toward tropical fish instead of bigger monsters like MFK.
