Pictures are bit blurry, but I would say not visibly pregnant. The best angle to get a picture from is slighting from the rear. She will look almost box-like. If she is mature and with a male, she is or will be pregnant soon. Just give it time.
 
I retook the photos and posted them. The second fish the black is a lot more visable in person and from the side but she doesnt know how to sit still lol.. The first one she is fat and i hope the photos helped a little better.
 
Internal parasites possibly. There are foods with medication in them. Feeding peas is also an option to help pass things along. Microwave, remove shells, cool, and smoosh up to serve.
 
Hey. I have an updated photo well actually 3 of the one fish, it is the the first fish. She has gotten much bigger and she tends to hide a little more and also she gets scared very much now she doesnt like anyone near the extra large bowl i moved her into for the time being. Just wondering what everyone thinks cause if no one thinks she is pregnant i will move her back into the 55 gallon.

The best angles are from the back. As she enlarges she will look box-like. She looks pregnant to me, but it's hard to tell exactly how far along.
 
she isn't box-like yet she blew up fast and she just tends to hide a lot more now and is afraid of people which she wasn't like before.
 
Hey,
I noticed late last night when i was feeding my two female mollies that the one i thought was pregnant got box like and figured she was pregnant and going to have her babies. I wake up this morning and i look and there are at least 30 baby mollies. The two females were still in there and they actually werent even bothering the babies. I have some stones in there so a lot of the babies were under them but also there was quite a few that were just swimming with the other two mollies. I did have two previous pregnant mollies and had them in a breeding net and they both died. This time i had her in a large bowl with plants and she did very well. Babies are doing well and mother. I have seperated her now. WHat do you feed them babies and how often do you feed them. Also is it true that she might end up pregnant again because they can keep the males sperm in them for an extended period of time.
 
yay!!
congrats
you can feed them a variety of foods. crushed up flakes, baby brine shrimp. really anything that is small enough and will provide nutrition. i have guppies and like to change it up a bit when i feed them so they dont get bored lol
 
wow congrats to you, your a mommy HEHE.
i have platy's and 1 red eye tetra, i also was wondering about what types of frozen foods were you speaking of, is it pease and corns? and how do i prepare that :)

thanks.
 
Ive been feeding them 5 times a day but im not sure how much to give them. I noticed what i give them there is always much left over. Maybe i should put less. I mean there are 38 of them but how much could they eat. any suggestions
