I would say yes! It may be harder to tell on her because she's got darker coloring which makes seeing a gravid spot tricky. But it definitely looks like she is. Do you have a male in the same tank or is she a new fish?
 
I have one blue male in the tank and she's older to the tank. Thanks for the reply and hoping that she is

I think she's pregnant, maybe in her last week. I wouldn't keep her locked up in there though. I would just let her give birth in the tank. You could catch the fry once she has given birth. And even if they get eaten, she will have plenty more! I used to save mine until I became so over-run I had to give my females away. :)
 
Thanks for the advice an about a week? Alright I let her go too. Hope I can find some fry before the adults eat them all
