My platy has a very very round belly, but I also understand females have naturally rounder bellies. She just seems rounder then when I got her a month ago. But its been a week and a half to two weeks that she seems bigger. There are 2 males in the tank. So how do you tell?? And how long till she gives birth if she is pregnant??

They are pregnant got around 4 weeks and if she looks larger than when you first got her then she's surly gonna give you some fry soon.
When their are close they sometimes become antisocial, hiding around plants and rocks for a little cover or sitting in the upper corners of the tank.
When their are also close you sometime notice that they "Square off" this is when the back end drops down a little and is a sign that the fry are or is very cloe to dropping fry.

From behind or above, her sides will look distended. If her belly bulges down but not out, she might just be fat. My platy is very close to drop. I can't wait, her last lot of fry were amazing and I have people begging for them!

It's a rare livebearer, very different to what you see in shops, and is endangered in the wild.
It's called Skiffia multipuntata or Sawfin Goodied
