Before I ask here are my tank specs
10 G Tank w/
2 Silver Mollies (1 male, 1 female)
1 Spotted Cory
I also have a Penguin Mini power filter
Ammonia - 0 - .2
Nitrites - 0
Nitrates - 30
PH - 7.8
Temp - 78 deg.
(tank is not fully cycled)
My problem is the female Mollie is acting strange over the last day and a half. Not as active as she was at first. She was the food hog. Now, She does swim up for food and sometimes play...Although most of her time is spent on the bottom hiding in the plants. She is getting a little larger belly and I am wondering if these simptoms are a sign of her being pregnant? Or what signs I should look for and how long the process may take. Maybe it is another problem altogether. (The other two fish are fine)
I was also wondering about doing the water changes and when I should add the water conditioner. I have been adding the water to my tank first and then conditioning. Is this the proper way or should it be conditioned prior to adding to the existing tank water?
Thanks for any help.
