I DID HAVE MORE QUESTION BUT I READ THROUGH A LOT OF POST AND THESE ARE MY MAIN ONES
 
First off all caps means yelling, if you are please lower your voice :D

Your mollies are pregnant. Not suprising considering the ratio of males to females. The gravid spot are the fry of the mollies. I would say to move the males out of there sell them to your local fish store for credit or something. You could get rid of about 7 of the males but then you would still have to get more females. Two to three females to every one male. Use the credit you have gained to purchase some females.

Do you have a fresh water tank or a brackish tank? Brackish allows the mollies to thrive and prevents and cures diseases.
 
Well it can be ( about the fry) that one of the females just started to give birth and they can give birth throughout the course of the day. Also I had two males and one female before and the two males had to much aggression and I had to seperate them and later give away one of the two male guppies. So it would be better if you had more females and less males. Im just saying. :dunno:
