I got my silver Molly last week and she's in a tank with a black mollies and other female mollies. I recently noticed she got bigger then the other silver mollies. She is getting bigger by the day and always hanging out at the bottom of the tank on the gravel. She is always alone, can someone tell me what does that mean idk if she is pregnant or not.
 
I don't know about mollies but my guppies for example behaved differently. One used to hang around in the corner, pop a few fry, then come back to her friends and swim about, then again in the corner popping fry. Another one wasn't bothered hiding, she just used to race the tank glass up and down popping fry all around the place. A third one used to get overly agressive towards food and chased away the rest of her buddies.

Generally, the belly of a pregnant molly gets very big and "squared" with the bottom front and back part of the belly ends dropping down. Something like this one:
