gtigaz, to upload pictures to the forum you need an online photo account like flicker or photo bucket. Then you can post the links to this forum from there and then we can see the pictures

If  she is pregnant (they usually are) and is not dropping the fry it could be because she is stressed about being in the breeding box or out of her normal environment.

baccus she doesnt seem stressed still eating as normal and seems relaxed the father has never left her side either he is glued to the breeder haha

Yes, pregnant females have larger than normal gravid spots.

just looked now and i can't say she has a gravid spot, does this mean let her out?

It most likely means shes not pregnant, so yes.

the fish just seems white all over but more brighter on its large stomach

well can a better pic? like i said no gravid spot Usally means not pregnant but maybe somethings different in this case then.

it just seems big for a Molly and it has grown since we put it in the breeder and squaring off at the back but no gravid spot, Il get another pic now.
this is the best i could get
