First off is this Guppy fat or currying?
2nd is it normal for males to chase females just hours after been added.
And lastly this look like a golden Guppy or a Yellow Guppy
And yes that Guppy is smiling for the camera.
A few guppies question

I'm watching him he like chasing one can't get anywhere so he chase the next fly by female... The other male is not like this he just happy on the floor looking for food...
I tried to feed my shrimps but they ate it all before it even got half way down the tank.
As for the fat one I didn't know until I already added it... By then it made it self at home and I'm quite happy to play along.

I agree with John
The black spot by the anal fin is the females gravid spot (where the young egg/fry are). When they’re ready to give birth they “square up” by the anal fin, the body goes at a really steep angle from the anal fin to to body extension for the tail (i can never remember the scientific term ). The males will relentlessly chase females to mate, its the same with most of the livebearers

Yep looks like carrying!
For some reason I remember the males hanging around just before they pop and I think last time I kept them the fry shot out a few at a time? I could just be remembering something in my imagination though.

The males will be after a snack. Normally its one at a time but they can pop out a couple in quick succession

I have a feeling all the females may be pregnant to some stage.
They can hold up to 8 sperm sacs, so once impregnated they can drop fry for up to around a year.........
There is a myth that they're born pregnant, not true, but they can be impregnated very early, just don't use the sperm sacs until they're mature enough.
I've had some quite small females drop. The problem is that they tend to die if they're too small or too old.
