I've had my black molly for 3 weeks already and she has gotten fat ever since we got her and I'm not over feeding her so I just want to know if she is pregnet or if she's just getting fat? She has also been laying in this one spot at the bottom of the tank for a while! Thank you guys for helping! image.jpg
 
a picture would be best.
1. she could be pregnant
2. she is over fed and over weight
3. internal parasite
 
Ok there I added a photo also she can't be over fed I feed her and the other fish I have twice a day only a tiny pinch of food!
 
Looks kind of pregnant but hard to tell, being fed twice a day wouldn't make her that fat... though feeding her twice a day might be more than she needs though...
 
And livebearers tend to lay near the bottom when they are due to give birth. Personally I haven't watched enough mollies to judge but personally, I would just leave her be and stay away from tank and see what she does in the next 24 hours...
 
Thx guys I also have one more question? Okay she has this white thing sticking out behind her anal fin and I don't know if its poop or what I really can't see because when I get close to see she swims away! Also I have one other fish who is a deferent breed he is a male and is alot smaller then her and he keeps bugging her! What should I do?
 
sounds like that she'll drop soon... add more hiding spots and coverage for her and the fry.
if the white tunb that is coming out looks stringy and becomes longer then she has an internal parasite, but i'm betting on pregnant. just cut down your feeding to once a day, and leave one day in the week were you don't feed, this'll help clean out this track.
 
Thank you everyone I woke up today and found young all over in the tank thank you guys!!
