Can someone tell me if these fish are squared off??

Also the platy with orange tail and white body just had babies around 2 weeks ago and her gravid patch is very dark and looks pregnant again ...
Which one is going to have fry first?

Yeah I'd say you'll have guppy babies before platy babies. Very soon probably. Your platy will birth in 2 weeks time. Make a note of what day she does and then exactly 4 weeks later (give a day or two) she'll birth again. My platy mamas have new embryos lined up as soon as they've dropped their fry. They drop every 4 weeks and 1-3 days.

You have to look at the gravid spot from the back of the fish. If it's opened up in the shape of a square, they will drop within 24 hours. You won't be able to tell by looking from the side or the front.
