No. If you exclude the length of the tail (caudal) fin in some male guppys, under normal circumstances, female guppys grow to around double the size of male guppys

I feel with live bearing fish you should have at least 3 females to 1 male, also it is a good idea to have plenty of places for the females to hide live plants are very good for the females to hide in once the plants take hold, and your fish population will greatly increase, Your female guppy is simply exausted or pregnant.
