Arrow Oh dear. Are two of my Balloon Mollies pregnant?

We have three Balloon Mollies in our fish tank. Two of them, lately, have huge bellies, one of them bigger than the other. I know i'm not overfeeding them because none of my other fish are like that, and the third Molly does not have a huge belly. So, we figured that two of them are pregnant. We reasearched Balloon Mollies and found out that they are livebearers, have a 50-60 day gestation period and can have up to 32 babies at once. So, if they both get to the maximum, 32 babies, I'll have 64 new balloon mollies. And I only have a 57 l aquarium. I think we'll have to get another tank, since this one is slightly overcrowded anyways, and give some of the new generation of mollies away to friends who have tanks.

My mom is slightly terrified at the thought of possibly getting 64 baby Balloon Mollies.
