When should I move my molly (fish) into the birth tank?

Question

I have 4 mollies (2 males, 2 females), and 1 of the females is pregnant. I don't know when to move her into the breeding tank. If I do it too soon, that will stress her out, and I don't wanna move her in too late because that will stress her too, and she'll release her fry too soon. So when should I move her in?

Answer 1

Mollys are very sensitive and prone to premature birth when stressed, generally it would be best to move her to a separate breeding tank early on as the first signs of pregnancy is noticed.

Answer 2

they release their fry every month,as soon as she looks about to give birth,she may be hanging at the bottom hidden.

Answer 3

You may want to move her in close to the ending of the month,they take a month to realease the fry.My mollies are breeding right now,so I will have molly fry,and I usually move my females in when you can see their eggs in their stomaches.
