So the past 2 days one of my mollys, which im now assuming is a female, laid what looks to be some sort of egg, the problem is... they're livebearers, so would anyone know what it is? It looks like some small yellow orange ish egg

Yellow ball at the end of poop? I have seen my goldfish and platys poop that occasionally. They are all fine! Maybe a dead egg, or just some undigested food?

That's an egg. Yes, they're ovoviviparous livebearers. But they can loose an egg at all times. As long as a female has got eggs (fertilized or not), she can drop them. But it doesn't happen that often. Nothing will happen to the egg. It looks unfertilized.
A fertilized egg of an ovoviviparous livebearer however can actually hatch outside the female's body. For all an embryo needs, are the nutrients in the egg itself to develop.
 

Random Great Topic!
