See that darker area near the back of her belly? She’s pregnant it seems like. Once her stomach gets bigger and it kinda looks boxy, she will give birth soon. You must seepage the babies from the others if you want to keep them. They will eat them. I usually keep them in a grow tank, which is a good idea if you want to keep them.

I mean that if you want to keep the babies alive, when she has the babies, then separate them so they don’t get eaten

If she lay the fries, did others will not eat quickly???

Do you have a lot of hiding places?

There is only hiding place I think it's not enough

I think if you want to keep the babies you should get a bigger tank and rehome the goldfish because those will quickly outgrow that tank

The aquarium really does not look large enough for the number or species of fish that you own....is the long grey fish a Bala Shark?

If it is then you need a minimum 120 gallon aquarium since it has the potential to grow to 13 inches

Can you list every fish species that you have in that aquarium and the volume of the aquarium please

She's pregnant but needs still some time before she'll drop her fry.

How much time bro? Approximately when?

Hard to tell. But I wouldn't be surprised if it would still take 3-4 weeks. Just know that the gestation period of a molly as such can between 6-8 weeks. It takes longer than with guppies.

These Molly fish are male. Take note of the huge dorsel fin and darker color.
