Answer 1

No i dont think so ur platy is definately not pregnant.

If a platy is pregnant it should have dark gravid spot containing baibies, and during pregnancy they always hang around the heater.

PS: Platys can act as they are pregnant but actually they r not. It is often because the lack of males. But dont worry with a male in ur tank ur platy will become pregnant.
