Balloon bellies suck. I've tried them over the past two months, most recently with mollies, and they've all bit it. I have one balloon belly platy out of a total of seven.
just got the breeder net for the preggy one and shes not tooo happy to be apart from her mate as they were nose to nose through the netting she looks like somone put a mini shoebox in her...... so heres to waiting and seeing what happens
just get a real regular mollie.much better fish and better looking too.the balloning of a mollie is a genetic trait that has been bred out for the porpose of selling the fish as ballon mollie.essentialy they are deforms and should be culled and not nurtured.it makes for bad genetic stock
