she is def preg, but still four times the size of my other preg gups, one below her is a reg size gup not a baby, tryin to get better pic, she won't stay still
 
I would say sh'es carrying 50-70 fry! congrats. sometimes they carry more on a first pregnancy, then on consequetive pregnancies the fry number is very much reduced. It depends how much sperm she has stored from the loving act the first time.
 
The other in the pic is normal size? hmm, someone got a goliath guppy on their hands :p (Just that she's big, not that that is a subspecies or anything - at least I dont think theres a larger subspecies) that would be funny tho
 
here is a lil bit better pic,agin any with her are normal size guppies

I think she is just a normal mature female and the other are a younger generation of adults. I have a female in my tanks and she is huge compaired to the other adults.
Yours does look pregnant but to me looks like she still have atleast a week to go, maybe 2.
Here is a pic of my female that big with 2 adult males next to her.
 
Most of my large female guppies are around the size of yours. I would say she has come from a much larger environment like a huge understocked tank or pond, most of my largest females grew that big from being in a pond, even the males are bigger than alot of the more commonly kept totally tank bred fish. Due to her size I would say she is also a fair age.
 
Ty all for your help, she is my oldest female she is one of the original 2 I bought the other one died, they are my beginning of over 30 guppies. just love watching their colors develope
