Possible Pregnant Molly. Help Required.

[andy_gtfc]

Hello, I am wondering if someone can help me here. I think my molly might be pregnant, and I have taken a few pictures so that you can help me. Sorry they aren't the best, she won't stay still.

She (I believe it is a female) has become very defensive when I have been doing my daily checks on the tank. So if anyone could help I would be very grateful.

If you require any other information on this, let me know so that I can help to see if she is pregnant, I really hope she is.

Well the molly you show in your pictures does appear to be female, and pregnant. About 2-3 weeks through a 4 week pregnancy I'd say. My Mollies all stay pretty streamline through their entire pregnancy until the day before, when they square off, yours appears to be one of those mollies that will swell up like a balloon.
When she squares off (Her her tummy will look like a square) She is within 12-24 hours of dropping, don't put her in a breeder trap until then

Thanks really hope she is, first one that I have bred and it'll be naturally occurring as well
