I haven't had guppies since I was a kid but I've never seen guppies the size of yours, the ones at the stores here are always tiny though, not much more than an inch excluding their tail most of the time

I can't tell you if your dalmatian fish is pregnant.. but I can tell you that it looks like a molly and not a platy IMHO. Dalmatian molly: Dalmatian platy:

I had to remove all the decor in my tank to catch all my fry and just kept finding more, keep looking and there might be more than just the two. Interestingly, none of the adult platies in my tank seemed interested in eating any of the fry at all. I've been feeding my fry a mix of tropical...
