Feeding live brine shrimps (artemia) to my fish

Artemia is 3 weeks old. Fish are: black mollies (adults and babies), guppies, zebra danios, golden CAEs (chinese algae eaters) and silver shark.

my female guppy just got really skinny, I don’t see any babies and her gills are a little red. Is she sick?

I have had her for 10 days. She looked like she swallowed a pea. I was told she was pregnant. I don’t see any babies and now she is really skinny. I have fed brine shrimp to them. She wont eat and her gills look a little red. I am so worried can anyone help. She is in a tank with 2 platys 1 molly 1 gold fish a male guppy and a silverfin shark. If she did have babies would I have noticed? Or would the other fish eat them before I could see them?
