Pregnant or Fat Ballon Molly

[amyb_70]

I can't tell if they are males or females, so not sure if they are fat or pregnant.

From the photo, it seems like they are all female. If you can take a picture of the side, it would be easier to tell than front view.

Does that fish have a tatoo?

Lol yes I have 2 tattooed balloon mollies. My 6yr old girl has been asking for a long time. I hate the idea of this, but my girls to young to understand. Anyway I hope these pics help. What I was told is only the orange one and maybe red tattooed are boys others are supposedly girls. But I don't believe the stores anymore .

U can look at the anal fins. Males have a pointed anal fin and females have a round anal fin. That will make u know their gender. Oh, and pregnant molly will have a very large belly. U will know yourself when the belly is getting half bigger than before (if u remember hoq your molly was when u bought it).
The orange molly is definitely a male.

then i would be willing to guess the others are all females. the white and dalmation are huge, but i am new with balloon mollies so i am not sure what to expect and unlike guppy you can not see a gravid spot.
