I have some mollies. Male and female. I believe two of them are pregnant. I went and asked the people at the pet store about thing tiny little thing sticking out of my black one who is squared off and it seems it could be a baby stuck. They recommend putting her in a breeder net and putting some "mop heads" in there for her and she should give birth. Advice? I've tried catching her but frankly she's extremely hard to catch and I don't want to stress her. My male will not leave her alone.
My golden panda I'm questioning if she's fat or pregnant?

They can look gravid (pregnant) but be full of worms instead of baby fish.

Don't put gravid livebearers in breeding traps because it stresses the female out. Just have lots of plants and let her give birth in the main tank, assuming she is gravid.

Deworm the fish and see how much weight they lose.
 
Assume all sexually mature livebearer females are pregnant at all times because they normally are.

They both look to be pregnant, not fat.
