in my 29 gallon tank I have a dalmation molly, a black molly and a silver molly. The dalmation molly is looking a little fatter then when we got it 4 days ago. I wasn't sure if maybe it's just eating to much or is pregnant. and if it is pregnant if it happened before we got it or if it could mate with one of the other mollies in the tank. any suggestions would be nice.

Im not positive, but im pretty sure they can mate......mollies are worse than rabbits

They are all the same species. Yea. All mollies can and will breed with eachother. Almost all of the mollies sold at stores are a mix of all three molly species anyways.

All of the above, plus it was likely pregnant when you got it. Any female molly that is in with male mollies is probably pregnant, and mollies can store sperm from a single mating for later impregnation.
