the photos a bit small to be 100% but it could be the easy way to tell is do you have male plays ? if the answer is yes
then dont worry if she is not pregnant now she soon will be there like rabbits lol

[Spurry]

Wow do you think my tank is overcroded?

i dont no, how much water have you and what fish have you

 

[Judgejudy]

Ive got 12 gallon tank and there is 4 platies, 6 neon tetra, 2 ballon molies, 2 gold barbs, 2 harlequins.

Need some colser pics to determin how far on they are, read my pinned thread in my sig will help you a lot.

I personally think with regular water changes and a well matured filter your tank is not over crowded

Ive got 12 gallon tank and there is 4 platies, 6 neon tetra, 2 ballon molies, 2 gold barbs, 2 harlequins.

54lts of water
im not the best to ask about this but i will have ago

6 neons thats ok
4 platys should be ok
the golden barbs im not sure how big they grow but i think its a 2 to 1 ratio ie: 2 female and 1 male
the harlequins need to be in a school 6 min
balloon mollies grow big and i think again it 2 to 1 ratio

it also goes on the filter can it handle what you have
dont think ive been much help lol

i would have maybe gone with 6 harlequins 8 neons and a pair of something small thats happy in a pair

anyway its just IMHO....

Sorry Judy, the pictures that you have linked are far too small for us to have much opinion on them. If you have any clear pictures that actually show the shape of your livebearera, we might actually be able to help you. Anything short of decent pictures will result in an indeterminate status for your fish. I have a detailed thread that might help you since it gives examples of a fish from day to day. It is called My Molly's Progress and can be reached from a link in my signature area. If you actually use that thread to try to identify the status of your fish and are still unclear, post a real question here to clarify your concerns. It is not that I want you to do extra work, but you are really in the best position to judge your own fish.

God i so wish you could zoom in on an ipad

Took me ages to find the fish in that pic!

Can't really tell at all, sorry. You need a better pic really It needs to be zoomed in on the fish - Did you say you were using an iPad to take the pics? Have you got a camera? If you have, use that

It would be great if you could get one a bit like this, so that we can see the shape of the belly - That is how we tell if she is pregnant or not
