hello just noticed that my femal platy has a dark spot (internally) on her belly, if i look closely can see a couple of round things smaller then a pinhead in her belly, she is looking slightly swollen, there are two males in the tank with her, i have no experience breeding fish, i'm just guessing she might be preggers, is this what she will look like if she is in the early stages of pregnancy ??? how can i tell??? i ask because last week she didnt have this spot on her belly, neither of the males got this spot on their stomachs, any info woull be great!!!

Yes, it's called a "gravid spot."
