I bought a pair of sunburst platies five weeks ago and I believe one is pregnant. I've separated her from the rest of the tank with a divider. But the normal pregnancy term for platies is about 28 days and I haven't seen any fry in the tank yet. Is she actually pregnant or just kinda chubby?

Thanks in advance
 
The weight/thickness appears to be more towards the front of the abdomen rather than the rear near the pelvic fins. I'd say put her back in the main tank.

Just chubby, I suggest to put it back with the others before she starts to get stressed.
