If she's been in a tank with a male anytime in the last few months, she's likely pregnant That said, the further along in the gestation period she is, the larger her stomach area gets, eventually becoming almost boxy in my experience.

I honestly can't tell with my mollies. I have 2 males and 4 females. I have a tone of baby fish but I have no idea which fish is having them

Some mollies (depending on their coloration) will exhibit a "gravid spot" behind their lower belly. This dark spot is a sign of babies. Usually only the silver and green females show this spot, and its kind of hard to tell on the dalmations and black mollies.

But if you have males in the tank, chances are she is pregnant.

She'll get strange cravings, her fins will swell, she'll wobble like a weeble when she swims, she'll get real moody and make you go out at all times of the night to get her some icecream

don't forget that nasty morning sickness. Be on top of your water changes, especially after a night of ice cream

Good morning. I've moved your thread to the freshwater fish/molly section of the forum. I think it may help you to get more responses and to help other members dealing with the same subject.
Thanks!
