Help. Not sure if Mollie is pregnant. Or what is on her!

[c.ritz93]

I'm completely new to having a tank and my husband laughs at me because I'm convinced that my fish are going to die. This was supposed to be a fish for my daughter which I assumed was a single fish in a bowl but it turned into a 20g full blown tank. Anyway I have 2 female black mollies and 1 male and one female is huge while the other is small. Is she prego?

Hard to tell without having a perfectly clear closeup picture, especially black mollies. Good way to tell is if she's hanging out by the heater a lot. Or just wait and see because live bearing fish like mollies and guppies have a very short gestation period.

She doesn't hang around either. She's very active and I thought she was pregnant before and started to see these white spots on her and I treated for ick twice and nothing changed them. Then it was on all three of my mollies this is one of the times I was convinced they were going to die. Then is just disappeared and now it is back now that I think she is pregnant again... Like I said I'm new and paranoid and I really want a pregnant fish!
