Well I thought she was a Mollie, but my Dad said she's a mixed arenda! It's the kind of fish with a bubble thingy on it's head!

Yeah thats totally not a mollie, lol.



This is a silver mollie but you get the point. The next pic is of what is called a Gravid Spot. Thats the spot that indicates a pregnant live-berring fish. This is an example on a guppy, and its grainy but you get the point.



When do these guys usually give birth, I need to be around to net the fry, but I work all day and worry that they will end up fish food?

without pics or a proper introduction (I kid, I kid) we cant know. Its very easy to ID the male and female mollies, but the same rules dont always apply. Here's what I found on google, hope it might help. (one site said you wont be able to tell for up to a year)
