Question
my molly is very fat. i got her today. she is a balloon molly. when i look at her straight on she looks very wide. she is dark orange. i do not see a gravid spot but should i put her in the breeders net? is she ready? please help.

Answer
Hi Jack,
 It is very hard to tell if a balloon molly is gravid.  It won't hurt her to be in the breeders net so you can put her in there if you want.
