I have my molly in a breeding net, how will they act before birth?
 
They complain a lot and re-arrange the kitchen cabinets?

I don't know.

I have platys that have babies all the time. Nothing special is done for them, and I don't know when they're about to have them.
 
well you don't have to be smartbut about it!
 
which she isn't able to do trapped in the breeding net. . . .
 
If I had a pregnant molly in this situation, with no other fish in the tank, I'd take her out of the breeding net (she's already bred) and put a clean, never used nylon knee-high over the filter intake to keep the fry from being sucked up into the filter. I'd keep the water pristinely clean (look for fry during water changes) and let her have the fry wherever she's going to have them. Hopefully you have some plants in the tank or some other place for her to hide when she's ready to give birth. Turn the light off at night.
 
Well i took khr out last night and took out the catfish i put him some were less. I have some plants in their not much.
 
she not in the net now, I took her out lastnight after i thought about it for a while. She is in the tank all alone now.. Still no babys!!
