Immaculate Conception?

[Noviceafter2yea]

I have what I believe is a female, dalmation Molly. She is the only Molly I have. I have had her since late March, early April.

Is there any possibility whatsoever that she could be pregnant? She has always seemed girthy to me. Trust me, she is not constipated!

I have two female platys that recently gave birth and they had that "birth dance." My Molly is doing a similar dance.

All water parameters are within range. Tank established late February.
20 gallon
3 platies, 3 bleeding heart tetras, 2 Cory catfish, 1 guppy, 1 Molly, 1 snail

Here is a picture from a slightly different angle.

They can hold sperm from a mating for quite a while and use it to get pregnant over and over. I had a female Molly give birth 4-5 months after bringing her home.

Does she look pregnant to you by any chance?

I cant say for sure from the pictures, but I don't think so.
Keep an eye on her though. If she is pregnant, then she'll start developing more a box-like shape to her belly the closer she is to giving birth.
