Hello. I'm new to fish-keeping, and I've bought 5 platys to start off. I've had them for about a month now, and I think one is already pregnant. I don't know what the gravid spot looks like, so I don't know if my fish is pregnant or fat! Could someone tell me if my platy is pregnant and, if so, about how long before she gives birth? Many thanks.

a gravid spot is almost impossible to find on a red platy like this. But ur right she does look rather fat. I cant tell. I would need clearer pics of the sides and above.
 
I'm with krib on this one. I would also guess about a week for the one in the top picture. The bottom picture is not as clear so I can't see her squaring off as well in that picture.
