Is a molly pregnant when she seems depressed and is always hiding?
If your female Molly has been in the same tank with a male molly then you can almost guarantee that she will be gravid (pregnant). If she is behaving in a touchy and skittish manner doing short dashes from place to place near the bottom of the tank then it is quite possible she is letting her young free (giving birth).

If you get a non pregnant molly fish and a male molly fish will they most likely have babies?
I can almost guarantee that they will have young provided they are in conditions that suit them. Mollies grow to around 3 inches so a minimum sized tank for a pair of mollies if you want them to breed would be a nominal 15 gallon tank. You would also need the tank to be heated, filtered, planted and lit with proper lights to help the plants grow.
Is it safe to keep a pregnant Dalmatian Molly in a community tank with other fish?
It is generally safe to keep a pregnant Dalmatian Molly in a community tank with other fish, as long as the tank is well-maintained and the other fish are not aggressive towards the pregnant fish. However, it is important to monitor the pregnant fish closely and provide a separate breeding tank if needed to ensure the safety of the fry.
Why is my phantom fish staying in one corner is it because it scared because i just bought new molly fish or because its pregnant?
If your fish is pregnant, it would look larger, and there would most likely be little eggs in the bottom of the tank. If your Phantom Fish is a male, and so is your Molly, then most likely the bigger fish is 'the ruler' of the tank. Try putting your phantom fish in a different aquarium, and if it seems happier, keep it there.

How to find the goldfish and black molly are pregnancy?
She will have a large abdomen. A molly will be pregnant for about 28 days. She can store sperm for several months and can be pregnant again even when there is no male around. It is possible but does not always occur. Goldfish do not get pregnant, they lay eggs. But they can hold onto the eggs up to a month until the male is ready to spawn. If it takes too long for the male, the female will expel the eggs anyway. The female lays he eggs and them the male will fertilize the eggs. In my world, when the mollies had babies, I would move the mother if she seems like she can move back to the tank. If not then I would put the babies in another tank and leave the mother recuperate. Sometimes this is possible and sometimes not. I know I will hear that this is wrong but it worked for me.
Do molly dalmatian fish eat other fish?
If there are fish small enough for the molly to swallow in the tank with them then they will most probably be eaten. They will eat their own young.
Do you need to separate the pregnant balloon belly molly from the other fish tank?
Yes, it's advisable to separate a pregnant balloon belly molly from the other fish in the tank, especially as she approaches her due date. This helps reduce stress for the pregnant fish and increases the chances of survival for the fry, as adult fish may eat the newborns. Providing a separate breeding tank allows for a safer environment for the fry to grow.

My balloon molly is pregnant and wont have her babies any suggestions?
Livebearers can and do hold on to their young and refuse to release them if conditions are not to their likeing. The commonest reason is too small accomodation. I would make sure that she is in a large enough container (tank) that is well planted and filtered so that she can understand that her young can/will survive. I would suggest at least a 10gal tank preferably larger.
