I think she's just fat I don't see a gravid spot.

yeah same, if she was pregnant she would have a gravid spot and her belly would be shaped like this \___/

more boxy

yeah it just looks chunky to me
But on the plus side you know its not a picky eater so thats always good and im guessing its pretty heathly too

Your Molly is not pregnant. The shape makes it look pregnant, but this is the reason why it is called a “Balloon Molly”. Very easy to make the mistake that it is pregnant.
