Is my Lyretail Silver Molly pregnant?

[Meganangeline]

I had bought some mollies from walmart last Thursday and came home and my Lyretail Black Molly was having babies. Turns out all my mollies are female. My Silver Molly looks pretty round and I am wondering if she is pregnant. So, please help me . Thank youuuuu!!

Can you get a pic? If so that would really help. But if she was in the Walmart tank with other males, than 95% chance she is pregnant.

I tried to put a picture with this post, I suppose it didn't work. How about now?

Yep it looks like she's pregnant. Maybe 20-25 days until she gives birth. Until then you should cycle a fry tank or make sure there are plenty of plants for them to hide in. Mollies aren't the best moms. Because they like to eat their children

I bought I fry net. I have been trying to buy another aquarium for fry, but my grandma refuses since I have 4 tanks right now and they run the electricity bill up. And here are my other two mollies, I believe they may be pregnant too since mollies store sperm and stuff. Even though one of them just had babies a week ago she may be preggers again

Those two look pregnant as well. If you want the fry to survive get some floating plants that provide a lot of coverage. This way the mothers can't eat them. Unless you don't have the space.

I have only had 1 die the whole week they have been alive, it was because he/she (I can almost see what sex but kind of difficult) got stuck

Yeah that happens. But only 1 death is very good.

Oh I know, that's why I'm thinking about still using the net, I have 5 mollies(3 female, 2 male) and 4 guppies and I don't trust them around the babies

Yeah they shouldn't be trusted. How big is your tank?

You should add another female molly. Just to be safe with the males.

My black molly is swimming in place where the last molly had fry ;-;?
