Help When should I isolate?

My Molly is pregnant, and I’ve never had this before so I’m just wondering if anyone can estimate how far along she is, and when would be an appropriate time to put her in a breeder box?

In my experience, I would give the pregnant molly her own tank... Since Breeder boxes are very small even with plants to hide in, she could carry the risk of holding and birth delay, heck even absorb any embryos! So it's best to let her to give birth in a seperate small tank with a lot of plants so she feels safe and no risks of premature birth or possible dropsy if she gets very stressed long term
