Hi there. I'm new to having my own tropical fish and got 2 female Molly's. 1 pure black other dalmation. Dalmation 1 has recently got fatter than other, keep hanging around filter and has tiny white thing sticking out near anal fin. Is she pregnant?

Thank Jem
 
The general rule of thumb with livebearers is that females are constantly pregnant whenever they share water with a male. If the other molly isn't male, then the female in your photo will have drops of fry every 4-6 weeks for another 5-6 pregnancies, before she runs out of stores sperm packets. If the other molly is male, then the female in your photo will have drops of fry every 4-6 weeks, full stop.
 
They only get fed 2 small amounts per day. She ain't over fed, the other molly (female) is no where near as fat as her. The picture looks cloudy as used bad camera, water is clear. Does she look pregnant? We only got them 11 days ago from shop that sells in mixed tanks so both male and female together.
