Sorry I am new and I have looked at pictures of pregnant guppies and platy but I am still unsure. The yellow female guppy has a dark gravis spot an is much bigger than the other female. And the dalmatian platy is much bigger than the male platy width and length.

I only know guppies, but yes, your guppy does look pregnant, probably early yet 1-2 weeks along.
 
I can't tell you if your dalmatian fish is pregnant.. but I can tell you that it looks like a molly and not a platy IMHO.

The platy does look pregnant. Maybe a week or so to go. It does look rather molly-ish.
 
She probably is a Molly the Petco had her listed as a Datamation Wag? Also I got a Sun Dancer Wag? Looked both up and they don't exist lol both are probably mollies they came from the same tank. Looking forward to my little Molly babies :)
 
GG1, your platy is really a molly and is not very far along at all. Your guppy is no more than 2 weeks of 4 along. Stop trying to judge fish by the color of the gravid spot. It is the most misleading factor that I have ever tried to use. Yes, when I was new at this I did try to use it. These days I use shape, not color or size, to judge a female's state. I have a link in my signature area to a post that I made using one of my breeder mollies, I called it My Molly's Cycle or some such thing, but it will take you to a thread that will make you the best expert on your own fish that can be had. None of us has the detailed information about your fish that you have and that thread should let you judge your own fish reliably.
