Yes to all 3. The bottom white looks really close to dropping, she's very squared off. Good luck! Molly fry are super cute & grow fast.

I agree with snarkxts, they all are Prego. Are you saving the fry? They can stay Prego 6months to a year in good conditions since their last encounter with a male. I seriously don't suggest using a breeder box, it can stress the female out way to much and cause abortions or miscarriages. What size tank? They all look like they will give birth soon.

Thank you so much.
I am planning on getting some plants today for her to give birth in. She will stay in the main tank and what ever babies make it I will more then likely keep. As I'm just at the end of my cycle I'm not sure how many will make it. Thanks for the info.

For floating plants anarchis could work. Sorry, I'm not that great with plants...

For a 55g? I don't suggest getting ADF's since they need to go up so much. I think the recommended max tank size is a 20. No problem, hope everything works out!

Your mollies will breed like crazy since you have males too FYI. Hope your tank doesn't get over-run. I have a 60 gallontank and decided to take all my male livebearers (guppy, Molly & platy) out & put them in a separate tank (36g) because it was endless cycle of fry explosions. Now after a year, all is well. Luckily my lfs buys/bought my juvenile fry so I make/made $1/fry. I've kept a few pretty fry though. Good luck!
