Is my Ruby Barb Pregnant?

I got 2 Ruby Barbs just this morning from a garden centre that specialize is fish.The are both very healthy and look like a ruby garp should. I took them home, placed the bag in the tank, and then released them into the water. I have a 2 or 3 Gallon Tank (I'm not sure) with a Golden Sucking Loach and a gold fish, and of course the 2 new Ruby Barbs. I have a small ornament bridge and an ormament of a walrus. I have 1 plastic plant and a live plant. I have a thick layer of gravel at the bottom and the tank is a bit dirty because i cant clean it out with my sucking loach. I also have a filter. Anyway, I got a male and a female and they are called John and Nettie. I am wondering if Nettie is pregnent. She and John are constantly round the live plant and they are always beside each other. Nettie has a greyish area on her stumoch close to her tail. Is she pregnent, is she is, is her habitat suitable for her and if you can some tips for me? I have never bred fish in my life. I dont mind getting a new tank or anything, anything to keep her healthy, and I am 13 by the way. I need help, thanks in advance
