Hi,

Does this platy look pregnant? I only have two females in the tank but i have only had them a few weeks so it’s possible she got pregnant at the pet store? If she is would you say she had long to go? We’ve had her roughly two weeks. Sorry the photo is blurry my phone kept trying to focus on the tank decorations instead of the fish. Thank you in advance for any answers.

She could be pregnant but she could also be just well fed... For well fed platies look similar.
 
platies can store sperm for up to a few months, so if she was impregnated at the store that’s possible but even if she mated and was not pregnant she could become pregnant after due to the stored sperm
