I found my platy this morning looking larger around the stomach than usual. i don't know if she is pregnant and in the early stage or if she's not. i couldn't get a pic of her so i had 2 draw one. this is her when she is next to the light:

From what i can see from the pic, she is not pregnant

If her belly shape has gone kind of squarish, and she has a dark pink or brown spot above her anal fin (which is called a gravid spot), then i'd say shes pregnant.

But can't tell from your artisitc drawing sorry

what is the black round things, it looks like your fish may have a disease! and maybe worms coming from the side gill.. like a brown stick thing at the side at the fin.

She obviously has a mickey mouse platy, they are called micky mouse platies because of that marking.

Also they get fat after eating to. SO maybe 12 or so hours after food see if she is still fat? They look like this if they are preg... \.../ but huuuuger...platys can be decieving because some just get fat...

it is the design of her fins. she has a mickey mouse on the back of her tail. the things coming out of side gill is a stray pencil mark
