Female guppies will always have a gravid spot. Female guppies can also have multiple batches of fry from only mating once. So likelihood is she probably is not pregnant at the moment but she could become pregnant again later down the road even if you don't have any males. You won't have to worry...

Why not go with a group of male soward tails? They are usually prettier and not as large as the females (so that means you could have more) plus there would be no risk of fry.

This fish looks to be pregnant .WIth livebearers it is safe to assume that they are always pregnant. The female fish can have up to 6 births after mating only once.

Hi! i'm sorry you are having trouble with your fish dying :( As stated before a 20 liter tank is not enough space for any fish except bettas, which even then prefer larger tanks. Pet stores (especial chain pet stores) will lie to you just to sell the fish. It is a common known fact in the hobby...

If your fish do have fry, which they probably won't because they both look male in the photo, you will need to let nature take its course and NOT try and save the fry. You may not know this, but livebearers are cannibals and will eat their fry if they can catch them. So your best bet is to leave...

definitely a hybrid, of which fish? I can't say

we're actually going with it's a sword tail

Before we can recommend fish we need to know your water specs. Specifically if your water is hard or soft (Platies need hard water). Also the size of your tank would be helpful.

Inbred fry have a higher chance of deformed spines and death soon after birth........ that being said almost every fish you buy from the pet store is inbreed. That's how breeders make strains. It's just the way it works. If you don't want more fry then yes you should separate them.

I kept two in a 10 gallon tank and they lived for about a year. I had no idea what I was doing at the time because I hadn't found TFF yet. So I have no idea if my tank was the right size for them.

Shrimp are always a good option for a 5 gallon tank

What we mean by holding sperm, is that they can store enough for up to 6 pregnancies not that they can control when they give birth. As soon as one batch of fry come out another one starts

The fish will start to square off (her body will look like a box) she may stop eating and seem unsocial

The second one looks almost like an endler hybrid

It is impossible to tell from that pic BUT with livebearers it's safe to assume they are always pregnant.
