#1 either a white female Ballon Molly, or a Very Pregnant small female white molly.
#2 Golden 2-bar
#3 Sunburst Platy
#4 Red Mickey Mouse
#5 Some form of Balloon Molly
#6 Male Creamsicle Molly
#7 Male Black Molly
#8 Female Red Platy

NOTE: You might want to get some more plants so the fish have room to hide while birthing, or they will get stressed out.

i'm still trying to learn how to figure out male from female types of platys & mollies

 

[kribensis12]

Females have regular bottom fin's. Male's bottom fins are long, and they lay against the body. Molly males usually have a big sail fin on top. Platy females usually have see through bodies. Or instead of trying ym way, google Sexing Livebearer fish and see what comes up!

i think my female guppy may be pregnant . . .

she eats alot and she seems to be a bit thick . . .

and the gravid spot is kinda dark? unless it's there all the time?

i'll snap pictures in a little bit to confirm it

Your red Mickey and GLoden Female Guppy look around 1 week prgnant. Your got around 3 week's to go! Those Ballon Molliesmight be prgnant, but it is hard to tell since they are always fat.
