Is My Balloon Molly Pregnant?

[Mr Melt]

Allright lads;

I recently added a female balloon molly to my big tank (which already contained a male balloon molly) in an attempt to give the male some much needed company.

Anyways its only been a week, but I could have sworn the females belly was less "obvious" when I got her.

Heres a few pictures:

Excuse the blurriness, but its a nightmare trying to catch a fish thats ALWAYS on the move =P

Anyways, does she look pregnant? If so, then what should I do? I have a small breeding net ready just in case, but thats it.....

Always.

She will always be pregnant and even after you remove all the male she can get pregnant and give birth upto 6 months. I always cringe when I see man made morphs but she is kinda pretty.

Wow - I just learnt an awful lot right there.

I know balloon mollies are controversial, but I just felt sorry for her (and her male counterpart) sitting in a Pets at Home tank all miserable and lonely =/

So what would be advised as the best course of action then?
