Jezz Molly still pregnant

[nano cichlids]

ive had a black molly for about 4weeks i bought here pregnant she was moved to a 5 gallon 3 weeks ago and has yet to give birth, here breathing has picked up and she lays at the bottom she is very large but still eats any ideas?

It is possible that she may have gotten stressed being moved and lost the babies. And has become pregnant again. Sometimes if you do a small water change, or raise the temp a little, it will convince her to go ahead and give birth if she is ready. The breathing thing seems odd, I do not really know if they do that during labor. I know that it can be a sign of illness, so you may want to keep a close eye on her. Test your water.

ive blacked out the tank as another site mentioned this as a good idea, ive raised the temp to 80F

its possible but unlikely because i watch here very closely every day and shes only gotten larger

Good luck. Hope she has them soon. Post pics when she does :)

It's mostly likely due to stress like Gayle said.

I am so sorry. :(

Mollies are pregnant for 2 months, not 1 like most other livebearers.
