I'm not sure what breed it is, it is gold about 2inches long and you can see little black specks INSIDE its stomach. It's stomach also seems too have got larger. Plus i have a male guppy that won't leave it alone chasing it around and nidging unerneath it's stomach. (This female that i think i pregnant is not a Guppy)

I have had her for about 2 months now so does she sound as if she is pregnant and should i be keeping her seperate from the others? There is another one same as her they are both acting strange towards each other. Flicking tails and nudging each other???

any clues as to what is happening?

Sounds like she will be having babies, take a look here to see which livebearer you think it is.

There might not be a male in the tank as platys can store sperm from previous matings.Have a look at the excellent pinned articles in the livebearer section which should be a great help to you
Congratulations and good luck smile.gif
