Hi! New to these forums. Love all of the helpful information! I purchased what I was told were male guppies back in June. They have all gotten on well and are always together. About a week ago the one with the black tail started laying down under the heater/corner of the tank and avoiding the others. Swimming oddly in place, eating like normal but then hiding again after feeding. Seems otherwise healthy. The others don’t seem to bother the affected guppy. After doing some research, I found the behaviour was pointing towards it maybe being a pregnant female?

I keep trying to identify the gender but am uncertain. Any help would be greatly appreciated. (Sorry about the fuzzy picture) Thanks

From the picture, the fish looks male. A female would have an anal fin like the fish in the bottom of this photo.
