This is mine and my partners first fish tank, it’s 115L (I think). We have: 5 Neon Tetras 3 Female Guppies 1 Male Guppy, We’re not only wondering whether this female is pregnant but also, how far in the gestation period she is, in order to prepare. Is it best to get one of the breeding separators or is it not really needed? Also is the white poo a concern? We’ve ran water tests and it’s fine and observed her and she’s eating fine (It’s the best quality video I could get) TIA
I’m not sure if the video link works so I’ve also added screenshots

Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on where you stand, if a female Guppy is old enough and is in the presence of a Male Guppy, she most likely is either pregnant or holding sperm. Your fish does not appear to be heavily pregnant. This mat help you understand what you need to do: Guppy Pregnancy Stages: A Full Guide With Pictures – Guppy Planet: Where Guppy Enthusiasts Connect and Learn

As for white poo, that can be a sign of the food it's eating or from not eating or a sign of an intestinal worm. You will need to post a much closer and clearer picture of the poo coming from the fish to make a better diagnosis.

I was not able to open your movie just so you know. (y)
