She looks like a balloon Molly. I have one also and she has already had babies and looks like she's due again. *twirlysmi

It's pregnant I belive 75% I can tell because of the black spots

ok...so she is a balloon molly....she looks pregnant to me, and i think that is what you where saying but I want to make sure, again I am new to this...so she looks to you (since you already have a balloon molly), that she is pregnant?

definitely a balloon molly, probably pregnant as well. unless you'd like to keep the fry, theres no need to separate her. she'll give birth and the babies will either hide or be eaten. the only thing separating her would do is stress her out but also keep other fish from bugging her, its your call.

I am new to all this. I only know what I have been researching about my own fish BUT from strictly a non-expert I think this is a balloon platy and I would say she is defiantly pregnant. You can see the small black spots on her belly not the 2 large spots but the small spots those are the eyes of the babies. She also looks square to me which from what people are telling me means that she is about to drop those babies Do you have fry yet?
