How to tell if Molly fish is pregnant!!??!!!?

[fishiefish51]

Its tummy is huge...I mean huge. Is it pregnant? When will she give birth? What do I do with the babys?

If it is huge it should be soon....You can raise the babies pretty easily, they don't require much special care. A few may survive in the community tank if there is dense vegitation (can be fake plants too). You can also remove them and put them in a breeder net or a different tank. If you want most of the babies to survive they make breeder boxes where you can put the mother. Some people don't reccomend them though.....

I want them to live! Will my angelfish eat them?

I would think so, if they mother gets hungry enough she could eat some too..... you can buy the stuff I was talking about at pretty much any pet store. Good luck with your Molly!
