She looks to be not pregnant, and not overweight at all. c: However, if she's ever been in contact with a male platy, there's a good chance she'll be pregnant soon. Livebearers can hold onto sperm for months.

Impossible too tell. Imho it looks very healthy and doesn't need a diet. Assume it is pregnant if it had had contact to any male before.

Kidding on the diet! And yes she's very cute! We just love her! I've just noticed her belly is growing sort of fast! Time will tell I guess. Thank you so much for your responses

The only male in the tank is a molly. So she was purchased pregnant (if she is)... what a fun little fish!

Here are some updated pics! I hope she's ok and not sick. The top pics in the side by side photos are updated photos of her this morning.

Haha! I'm a woman for starters! So our fish dropped her fry a few days ago! I managed to catch and separate 5 of them! So she was indeed carrying babies! My kids (3,6,8) are so excited! Such a great learning experience
