I don't think they are born prehit.  The fry might look like they have fat bellies if you are feeding them well.

No, baby guppies are not born pregnant, but they multiply as if they are. It's a myth. But the little babies do get fat if fed well, and to be healthy, their little bellies should be round. They are growing fast and they will need to eat a lot.

No...
They are simply well fed!
You see when the female is pregnant a lot of the food she eats goes to nourishing her young ones.
So he babies are fat because the momma is well fed!
Keep up the good work!
