They probably are pregnant but they need to be just about ready to burst before they give birth. Few weeks yet.

the plumpness moves down towards the backend of the fishes abdomen and she will look about too explode. but if you want a sucessful batch i suggest you move her to a hospital tank or collect the fry as she gives birth too them, as breeding traps/nets cause lots of streess

i would say they are both fully grown females so should they be huge huge when ready to drop, some fish are decieving not always so big but soon drop them.
