I can't see the pictures. It tells me I have to sign up. Could you just copy the web address of the picture, and then paste them in the IMG tags on here? It's the little button that looks like a picture of a tree.

From the one picture I can see a small version of, I'd say yes, but it's hard to tell. She could just be fat. But if you have a male in the tank, most likely she's pregnant.

Hopefully these will work:

Yes, I'd say she's pregnant. Any plans for fry? There's lots of information in the pinned topics in this section, so you might want to take a look at those. How many males and females do you have? And what size tank?

 

[TrooperVinny]

Cool! No plans as of yet. I have 2 females and one male and the tank is 20 gallons. I'll have to look at those other postings and see what's best. Thanks again!

Ah, okay, that seems pretty good. You basically have three options for the fry, survival of the fittest, Breeder Nets, or a Fry tank. Just whatever you do, I don't recommend you put the female in a breeder trap or net, as they are really too small for Mollies and will stress them out.

If you have any questions, of course, feel free to ask.

Cool, thanks for the info...I have an old 10 gallon tank, should I move her to that tank and if so when?

 

[Annastasia]

That'd be a good size for a fry tank. I'd say move her in there in maybe a week? It's hard to tell exactly how pregnant she is. Make sure it's planted and cycled before you do though, otherwise you might lose the fry and the mother.
