Squared off

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?

Here is a better shot of the guppy I 'think' is squared off and the platy that just had fry around 2 weeks ago

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.
