I believe some, and the spot you're referring to is a gravid spot.

Mollies, unlike guppies, don't have as much transparency to their bodies as guppies do and might not show a gravid spot (but they do have them all the same).

Mollies plump up a lot when pregnant as well, it will defiantly be noticeable.

You can also check the sex of the fish as well; if the anal fin (the one at the bottom of their bodies) is long, "pointed" and usually kept rolled up close to their bodies, it's a male, if the anal fin is rounded and "fan-shaped", it's a female.

Is my black molly pregnant or fat?

my guess is that she is pregnant because she would be fat all around. if u notice her belly becoming square that means she will deliver soon. good luck! i currently have 7 mollies, 2 silver,2 black, 2 dalmatian and one yellow. 2 of them are males and the other 5 are females. i am pretty sure that one of my black mollies is pregnant, knowing that sheis plump. it is hard to tell when she will give birth though. they usually have 20+ fry so be prepared! good luck!
