Pregnant maybe?

Well they are both females. And the black one was the one having the babies. I don't think she is pregnet, they are just long and huge. Do most guppies get that big?

females do get quite big
they can also store male sperm in there body for a while n reproduce with out male present

indeed females can give birth 4-5 times without a male (after a first birth), they store the sperm in packets and use one by one

the pet shop from where i used to buy fish when i was little was participating to guppy contests, not with males for colors and stuff but for the sizes of the females, they had guppy females of 12 cm

i wanted to buy some fry from those females but they wouldn't sell
