I have had my red platy for about 4 months now, when I first purchased her, she had a few fry about 8, 2 of which are almost half inch, and the cutest little red fish I have ever seen. They are currently in their own 5G tank. On the other hand I have a Plumtail Female Platy and a Female Guppy in my tank. The female Guppy has been in there for a little over a month, along side a male Panda Platy and a male Guppy. I was hoping for some Guppy Fry, because I really have enjoyed raising the Platy ones. But either my male Guppy is a dud, or my female guppy is pregnant without me knowing.

My female guppy on the other hand, seems like she could be pregnant, which I find highly unlikely as she scares the male Platy away, and they hardly "play". Anyways I am attaching some pics, let me know what you think. Thanks!
 
As you can tell, my 2 female Platy are pic Whores, you kind of get a glimpse of my female and male guppy in the 2nd to last pic, and part of her belly in the pic on the 3rd post. Thoughts? Ideas? Is it normal for 2 Guppies to go over a month without any Fry?

Well she could get pregnant by the other fish, not just the platy:) I'm surprised you don't have fry yet, guppies are ALWAYS holding:p I guess you should just wait or get another female guppy?

If you really want to breed I suggest 3F-1M ratio. It pretty much guarantees fry:) good luck
