Molly - Balloon

[Platyluver]

I am curious as to if you know how to tell if a balloon molly is pregnant. They already have big stomachs and sometimes it is very difficult to see a gravid spot so is there a different tell sign of a pregnant female?

This is the most requested question on this section in the last few months.

Due to the deformed/squat body shape it makes this question almost impossible to answer sadly.
This is the strange body shape making the look heavily pregnant all the time.
With most common livebearers you see the backend of the belly drop when their close to giving birth, with these fish you dont even get this.
