if she's had contact with a male within the last 6 months she's almost definitely pregnant. Platies breed more than rabbits. Mine have fry about once every 6 weeks

Try getting off to the side a bit so the flash is not reflected right into the lens. Then we may be able to help you judge your female's state.

She looks pregnant to me, though it's kind of hard to tell in that pic. :good:
