Well, it's hard to tell since the pictures aren't very clear, but it is most likely that they are pregnant.

The male guppy has a pointed gonopodium (the fin below where the poop comes out

) and the females have a rounded one.

Here is an example of a male:

And here's the female:

Here's a pic of one of my females about a week before she dropped her fry:

Hope that helps.

They look like platies to me... its soo blurry I cant even tell what type of fish they are lol... the first picture looks like a platy.

i pm'd guppy mommy and told her my exact views which are these arent guppies. I believe they are platys. Not Guppies. They are more expensive than guppies and almost as easy to breed so be happy

The top one looks a few days into pregnancy even though the pic quality is still bad. wait a week or so to re-take. Also take the pictures from further away or use the macro lens settings

You will get a better pic.

Possibly they had fry, but they got eaten?

Also, you may want to up your male to female ratio. You should ideally have 2-3 females per male. The reason why I am mentioning this, is sometimes the males can harass the females into aborting their fry, or holding on to them. That may be why you haven't seen any.

thanks mate

thats what i might have thought happned but she still looks lil big am trying to take pics but there no good quality pic ill try to borrow a friend cam and see what happens
also the ratio do you think its a good idea putting 2 mail in my other tank that has 2 gold fish,1 silver shark,1 rainbow shark , 1 angel fish and a big cat fish?

i had just had some babies in my tank about 6 hrs ago i missed who gave the birth and i picked out 21 frys wondering can platies give out 21 frys or has more then 1 mother gave birth plz help
ive been waiting 7 monts for my frys am exited first time for me. and i have put them all in breeding trap net so nay advice will be usefull

well one platy can easily have 21 fry they can have up to a hundred i believe.
You might want to get a separate tank for the fry because yuo have quite a few maybe a five gallon with a sponge filter and it needs to be 50 percent the water they were born in.
Hope this helps
