Hi all,

Please see the photos of one of my platys below. She is huge compared to the other 2 and I've got my suspicions she's pregnant.

I've been looking for the signs of her "squaring off" etc.

What's everyone's thoughts? Pregnant or just a greedy girl?

I think she’s just fat.
Nice neons btw.
Live bearers get “fat” under they’re tail not near thyre stomach.
 
I’m not positive but that looks like a male platy to me, the back fin looks like a male platy, I might be wrong but no I don’t think it’s pregnant.

I was just taking it on the advice of the aquarium shop, happier if it's a male though!!
