IDK. She's been looking fat.

EDIT: Rest assured, she doesn't have fin rot. Just clear fins.

I can't tell what I'm looking at. Does she have worms?

No. I think she might be pregnant.

She may also be constipated from too much food. They can get very fat when they over eat.

They usually get fed before I go to school and when I get home and SOMETIMES before I go to bed.

it would seem to me like he/her being fed a little too much,so this could be down to constipation,other question for you is what are you feeding your fish are you feeding flake,pellets etc,sometimes some pellets and flake can cause some problems inside a fish,the source you use could be to rich in one mineral or to low(?) an idea for you to try would be a small amount in the morning and a small amount again before you go to bed so your fish has time to digest hes/hers food,:1:

One of my platies did this. She was the smallest one no signs of pregnancy then one day i came home to find her blown up like a pig she didnt survive. As for what it was i have no idea.

Platies will eat as long as you feed them. Once a day is enough for them or they will over eat.

I would only feed your fish once daily, particulary live bearers, especially because they will eat and eat and eat. From the picture that you provided I would say she could be constipated or simply fat, it would be very helpful if you would provide a picture taken in an aquarium setting. It would be good to get a side view if possible.
