Hey Guys I Have A Female Molly That I Think Might Be Pregnant Shes A Dalmation One And When She Comes Close Up To The Front Of The Tank She Has Like Shiney White Spots, And Im Just Wondering If She Is Pregnant Or Not? Whats Some Other Signs To Tell Me Shes Pregnant?.
 
Shiny white spots sounds like ich. Do a search for "ich" and if that is what your fish has, separate the fish into a quarantine tank, turn the heat up to 87 degrees and leave it there for two weeks after the last white spot disappears. Ich kind of looks like grains of salt, which sounds like what you described, but if it's not dot-like, it could be a fungus too if it's white.

Pregnancy is a whole other issue. Get the whit spots taken care of first.
 
How big is she? They will get very fat if preg. Mine look like they are about to pop when preg. They also get sort of a square shape in the middle.
Shiny white spots can be several things. Can you get a pic or give more details to help.
What are your water stats?
What size tank? What other fish are in it? Do you use marine salt? Are these spots on any of the other fish? Is she showing any signs of sickness... flicking or scratching?
