How To Tell If A Sunset Platty Is Pregnant?

[Tropical sunset]

I might have a pregnant sunset platy fish but i am not sure as to tell what are the signs...i have noticed that it has a bigger belly than all the other sunset platy fish but i'm not sure if she/he is just fat. I have put her in the breeding tank incase she does have fry, i don't want to keep her in there though because it's not very big and she/he doesn't look happy! Please i need to know wether she is pregnant or even if it is a she!

If you put up a photo we'll be able to tell you if it's male or female.

If it's female then yes it's probably pregnant lol.

Both female! Dunno about pregnant (Platy) but probably.

You see the fin by the Platy's bum (the one underneath nearest the tail)? In female platys it's like a fan shape but in males it's pointed.

Prob fry on the way but not yet I'd say

Thanx...do you know the signs of when they're just about to drop?

not sure about platy but the guppy looks pregnant.
Some signs when their about to drop is not eating, dwelling on bottom or in plant, A small white ball like opening near the anal fin, staying near heater, not interacting with others, but most important of all is the belly squaring off.

strange because the platy does have a white hole opening...the male guppy i often see trying to bite something under her belly and i think it is this opening...but she is not giving birth and the white opening has been there for quite some time. Plus the guppy has just recently given birth...is it possible she has got pregnant again that fast, because after she had given birth her belly did go down a little but not fully (it looked as it looks now)
