i just want to know when is the right time to put the mother molly in to the nest breeder?

You should put her in the breeder nest when you start to see her getting fatter and having a gravid (black) spot by her anal fin. You should put her in as soon as you see this, because you can't tell for sure when she's going to give birth.

Well, just to be safe, you can separate her from the rest of the fish now. The gestation period of fish is about 28-36 days.

Look at the underside of her belly, where it looks like she poops. Her stomach should be swollen and look black, those are babies if you don't seperate her the other fish will eat them as soon as they come out, or she will.

You can't really know for certain, but if she is really big and a little square looking around her belly you can be sure it won;t be long. I would go ahead and move her personally.

livebearers get a dark spot on the back of their big bellies before they give birth. its called a gravid spot. if you can notice it, then she's not too far from having babies!
congrats!

I would say about 4 weeks of since fertilization.
