Pregnant molly help

[Eastside Game]

Hello,
This is my first thread on this website. I have a 10 gallon fish tank and a week ago i bought a pregnant molly. She is very pregnant but i don't know if her tummy is squared off. Can you explain what does that mean and tell me if hers is squared off? Here are some pictures i took. Sorry if they are blurry

Thank you

I do not have any mollies. But I wouldn't think they would be too different than guppies. With guppies it's when the bottom of the belly is still big but it has a "boxy flat" look to it. IMO hers still looks round. Here is a picture I found. Hope this helps. http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll251/Oldman1947/Mollies/Mom41_1024.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.*************.com/f33/pregnant-molly-6218.html&usg=__37tDbmrdq7DlDcZU4pstQmHNJv4=&h=677&w=1024&sz=332&hl=en&start=0&sig2=AacS316VRIsxryMxZjAllA&zoom=1&tbnid=WPuXRE5Ivpw-aM:&tbnh=127&tbnw=169&ei=-ugYTbiXB8KBlAe91pTRCw&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dsquared%2Boff%2Bpregnant%2Bmolly%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26sa%3DN%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-USfficial%26biw%3D1248%26bih%3D542%26tbs%3Disch:1&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=307&vpy=88&dur=486&hovh=127&hovw=192&tx=139&ty=106&oei=-ugYTbiXB8KBlAe91pTRCw&esq=1&page=1&ndsp=18&ved=1t:429,r:1,s:0

your molly still has a way to go before it drops the babies, she'll look like shes about to explode when she gives birth.

would it be stupid to ask for an approximate amount of time before she gives birth?

sorry if I could tell you I would but I am not sure, my educated guess would be a couple of weeks or so though.

well user_nam a molly does not have to look like it is about to explode to give birth if you ask me i would say that you should watch her

here are some sines that labor is soon:
'pregnant fish starts to hide
'pregnant fish stops eating
'gravid spot (dark area by the females tail) darkens
'hey stomach becomes squared off

hard to tell when she will give birth she looks big but not squared off that is a tough one if you can tell me the breed of molly i might be able to get you more information but i do not know if it is a marbled or dalmation molly or it may be another breed
