Baby guppy with big belly

[Jinx_]

Hi,

I noticed this little girl today with a big belly.

I haven't been seeing much of her since adding 4 new fry. I noticed her being chased into hiding by other older fry, not just males.

She genuinely looks pregnant to me, I don't see a specific belly part being swollen

Could she actually have gotten pregnant at this age? There is a male that's been chasing females for you know what.

Not a baby guppy. Looks like a young female, quite gravid.

Looks like she's fed very well, that's about it.

She's still small, so she's still a baby to me

I hope she's just well fed, and I hope others scaring her is something normal

A well fed juvenile. I even wonder if it's a female. If I look at the anal fin, it's quite pointy at the tip, which makes me say that we are dealing with a young male that will develop a gonopodium.

It looks like a young male , its gonopodium may be more noticeable in the next few weeks

It looks to be just silly shading, which you actually can see on her tail. And she has a visible gravid spot as well
It's just that my phone has stupid focus and doesn't let me do great close ups

I've had a great look at her, and problem seems a bit deeper.

She's been chased into hiding most of the time by the electric blue tailed male (developing gonopodium). The blue tailed young male will be pretty aggressive towards her, I've seen him nip at the female and chase her away into hiding.

He will chase away the other young male, but that happens only sometimes and doesn't seem serious.

Is there a need for worry? I don't want to rehome either one
