Hey, so i just got 4 new platies and was wonder if this girl is pregnant, im new to platies but have had mollies, the only problem is, is that i can't tell if a platy is pregnant, mollies i can but platies i can't, also they have no names so I'm looking for name suggestions, i will upload a photo of each!
The last platy was hiding and did not let me take pic but i will get photo of her when she comes out, she is orange with a big black spot just before her tail fin

With livebearers it is to expect that every female that has ever been kept with males in the same tank for longer than a week is to be expected pregnant. Be it Guppies, Platies, Mollies or any other type of domestic fish of that group.

All of them can also store sperm for weeks, if not months to produce offspring even without a male.

Ok, thanks for telling me about this, if you have any name ideas i have 5 bettas, 5 mollies + the one which i will be getting as sadly my grey female somehow didn't make it due to stress and 4 platys so feel free to share any suggestions and i will be sure to have a thought about each one, once i get home i will take pictures of the mollies and the bettas currently are a bit stressed so i will let them settle in their new home before taking photos, they are all females, also there is 2 male mollies and i think 1 male platy, just in case for the 1 male platy pls put in another name if you want for a female as im not certain if the one male truely is a male.
