I have a creamsicle molly that I think might be pregnant but I am not sure she (?) has been getting rounder for the last few weeks but i am new to this and I don't know of the black dots/spots I am seeing are babies or what. Can you help me?

I also have a balloon molly that is expanding a little more than I think she should but I dont see a black spot so thoughts on either molly would be great. More pics of both in my profile albums... Thanks

Yes your mollie is pregnant. She has a bit to go as she hasn't by the pictures, squared off as far as I can tell. Your balloon molly also appears to be pregnant but it is harder to tell on balloon mollies.

Zagz thank you so much for the assist. I thought she was pregnant, but the chick at the LFS (chain) sold them to me as 2 male lyretail and i just have no experience with mollies. And the balloon mollies really had me guessing. Thanks :cool:
