Dalmation Molly, not a balloon Molly. The one on the right looks pregnant to me, but a undershot or close side shot would be better.

I don't think that is a balloon molly.. I think its a regular dalmatian molly. If I am correct, it does look like she is pregnant. Balloon mollies are tiny, about the size of a quarter to 1/2 dollar. The picture of your fish look much bigger than that.

So I think its a regular dalmatian molly and she does look pregnant.
