Hello! I am a new user on this forum and a relatively new fish owner. I have a problem. I have several tanks that I need advice on but for the moment I am focusing on a ten gallon. In my 10 I have
3 guppy's
2 dalmation Molly's (one fry and one mama)
1balloon Molly (fry)
I know it is pushing overstocked, but the dalmation mama is not the only fish I have, and many of my Molly's recently gave birth. I can't find more tanks with the mess that is happening right now, and all of my tanks are pushing overstock. But constant water changes and testing has proved helpful.
My 3 guppy's are Ember, Matchstick, and Scarlet. All three are boxy and have been for a while, but no darkening gravid spot. Ember was bullying Scarlet a little this morning and Scarlet began dropping eggs. So sign of fry developing inside, just amber colored empty orbs. I have her in an isolation tank and she is behaving as if she is in labor. All three guppy's also have deep red gills, a sign of stress/high ammonia, but I am controlling the ammonia as best I can and it isn't horrible. Ember has always been pushy but not horribly so, but maybe the stress is getting to Scarlet? Or is she sick? I believe this might be her first pregnancy, so is dropping undeveloped eggs normal? Help???
