Here are another 2 shorts clips with all the Guppies. On the first one there are the long female and male and on the second vid is the fish I felt sorry for, because in the shop she was Grey and very skinny.

Pregnant guppies can even become much bigger than yours...

By the way, I checked the tank 1 hour ago and the "pregnant" fish is flat, no fry to be found either. Probably her belly was full of waste, not pregnant :/
You can also give it some time and see if there are some fry swimming around. For not always are fry that easily to spot.

And in their first moments they aren't free swimming either, from what I know. They need atmospheric air to gain the balance.

Edited my m a j o r spelling mistake 😬
 
After you have completed the salt treatment and eliminated it from the water, I recommend using a de-worming medication like flubendazole (Colin mentions NT Labs Anti fluke and worms). The first video possibly shows ‘stringy white pooh’ and odds are they have worms.

Heya, while I was filming it, I noticed the white thingy also. It seemed like a small root, not a white poop. But it's always better to be cautious. 🍻
