Just by looking at them, they should already be able to breed... But I also have to mention that it's the female which decides if she allows a male to mate with her or not. |So, if she's not attracted to a male, no actual mating will take place no matter how often a male tries to mate with her. But I'd like to say, just give it more time and see how it will unfold.

Thank you for your reply. I noticed they both chase each other. I would like to add one more question that the pair will mate with the same color guppies, because recently I lost my male orange guppy.

If I added live plant is oxygen is mandate for all the time?

Plants are always good for most fish (guppies in this case).

If you're asking if plants produce oxygen all the time, the answer is No. Plants produce oxygen during the day and carbon dioxide at night.
To aerate the water and provide oxygen, you can use an air pump connected to a sponge filter or an air stone to agitate the water.

Just as in the other thread, the answer is yes, she's pregnant. But even with this shape it's not certain when she'll be due. Not all females will square off when almost due and not every heavily pregnant female will become large. It will be more a matter of watching her close and see if she starts to hide or hesitates to eat which might be a sign of being almost due.
