Pregnant fish..maybe...

[Sarahb]

Hi all new to this! How do you know when a fish is pregnant? I've looked online and not much help! I've attached a picture not very clear! any advice would be appreciated thanks

as she is a dalmation , it is hard to find a gravid spot, so compare her to a picture of a non pregnant molly, as she is a female, I am almost certain she is pregnant

Thanks for the advice been comparing to other fish and looking like she could be pregnant will keep an eye on her and see if she gets bigger. How exciting!

It looks pregnant to me. Just keep an eye on it and if it starts to look big and round like it's about to burst, then be expecting some fry in the tank soon!
