Is my platy pregnant ?
Im not sure what to make of this. The platy with the black stripes in the tail is "bigger" looking then usuall and when i look at it the belly near the anal fin is see through almost and i can see a bunch of things inside it. Maybe its just the guts of the fish but im not sure. The other platy's are orange and blue and dont look like this
This is the best pic i could get

Is it possible she got pregnant from the orange platy's i have ? Or the purple ones ? Can they actually breed with other color's ? Cause i have 2 males in the tank and 3 are females.

Different colors of platies can interbreed, yes. All platies stem from one species, Xiphophorus Maculatus. The thing is, they are also able to interbreed with Swordtails, which is how there are so many ridiculous, unclassifiable color combos.
Depends on how long you have had all these platies together as to whether the orange ones could be fathers. They have pretty short gestation periods so it could be possible, but if you haven't had her very long, it's more likely she was impregnated by a male from wherever you bought her.

Most likely it's from another male at the store then.
