Hey i just got some new tropical fish yesterday for my aquarium
and i noticed that one of the fish has a bigger belly compared to the other fish
could you please help me decide whether it is pregnant or not?
i dont even know how to tell if it is male or female since im new to fish keeping
Also could anybody tell me what species my fish are? ive been trying to research all tropical fish on the web and the species which look like my fish are mollys! are they?
thank you for helping :)

pretty sure thats a boy, but my females tuck up there anal fin, so it maybe a girl, just wait someone with better eyesight will be along in no time

oh and a very warm :hi: , masses of fab advice to be had on here from very friendly fellow fish keepers

Yep it is a molly.....think shelagh is right and it is male. I have one exactly the same as the white one in the pic!

http://www.fishforums.net/content/Common-L.../Marble-Mollys/ Take a look at that link there is a picture of a male and female....!
 
They swell a bit after eating, could that be the cause of what you're seeing d'you think?
Silver mollies do breed very easily, bear that in mind!
 
Does look like a male.

That looks very much like his gonopodium (his dangly bits :hey: )
 
its not the food swelling because the belly is still there now
so he must just be a fat fish lol
i was hoping it was female and pregnant though
id love to have gone through breeding stages
thank you for your help :)
