Is my mollie pregnant

[Ammo]

I brought 5 mollies about a week a go and this one seems alot bigger than the rest. She has started hiding and being aggressive towards all the fishes that go near her. Also pooing so much more then the rest. Please help....

Most female livebearers are pregnant all the time, but you don't need to do anything special for them; just make sure they have good clean water and a big enough tank.

How big is your tank, how long has it been set up, and exactly what fish do you have? Do have test kits for the water?

It's 14 gallon tank it's been set up for about 6 months now I have 4 mollies 3 gubbies 1 pelco 2 angle fish 2 gourami. Yeah I have water tests and water is really good

That's too many fish for a little tank, I'm afraid.

The angels will grow too big. Some other fish might get too big as well; the pleco and the gourami, but it depends what exact species they are.

What are the actual numbers from all your tests?

one can always assume that livebearers are always pregnant.

one can always assume that livebearers are always pregnant.

In fairness, you can only assume that about the females.... ;-)
