Hey
I’m new to all of this and wanted to ask if you could help me by letting me know is my yellow guppy pregnant
I got them 3 days ago and there wasn’t any marks on her and today this black spot also known as a Gravid appeared ( I have gone crazy researching on YouTube/Google) and if so what do I do from now and how can I tell how far she is

Thankyou in advance x

Thats not a guppy. That's a platy. In the picture, it almost looks like a male...

Too many employees of pet shops have no real clue and/or are working on commission. Too many will tell you anything to get a sale or just don't have the knowledge to know what they are talking about.

I have to admit to being a bit radical when it comes to such employees. Do as you feel comfortable but I would return the fish and demand to speak to a manager raising a fuss.

I don't have any experience with platys but I'd say no as to pregnancy. LOL! If it were a female guppy I'd say yes as to pregnancy as they always are.
 
I agree it’s a platy, and it’s male. Pet shop employees have often next to no knowledge about fish keeping apart from fish live in water. Not your fault, but now you know! :)
 
The red fish behind the yellow one in the photo is also a platy.
 
So should I be concerned with that black spot on him or is it just part of his colour
