hi it depends if its a livebearer.....most fish lay or scatter eggs...do you know what type of fish it is?
how long have you had it?
what size tank?and tank mates?
is your tank fully matured?

she looks like a platy but the centre of her tail is longer she has been
like this for the last four days.

what about this variet of platy

maybe ill rather than pregnant, or could be a heavy birth...

we will need more to go on sorry

dost it look like the in the body and the tail

If so then their a pin tail platy.
Their pregnant for around 30 days or so and even with mo males they can store sperm for several months

I was thinking pin tail as well once elongation of the middle of the tail was mentioned.

could be plume tail also as that has 2-3 extensions in the middle of the fin
