With help too guys.

Questions will be answered perso-acctually they won't if you have a question ask me and I'll reply somehow.
Sorry guys I can't get a picture
 
If she has dropsy, her scales will be sticking out, giving her a 'pinecone' appearance. Being a livebearer, she could be pregnant, of course.
 
Think a platy with dropsy will look much more rounded and usually very swollen belly with some pinconing (looks like scales sticking out).
 
Really would help if can post some decent/clear pics to help you. You could maybe ask someone to help take some pictures for you and upload on a photosharing website such as photobucket (its free).
 
Ok I think she has dropsy because her scales are sticking out but she can't be pregnant because she's not an adult yet
