Your glofish can't be pregnant because they lay eggs. Only livebearing fish can get pregnant.
Your glofish is probably full of eggs and lays them in the morning. If there are male fish around, they may be fertilizing them, but then the fish are probably eating them all. In order to get baby glofish, you have to put marbles in the bottom of the tank, collect the fertilized eggs that fall between the marbles where the fish can't reach them to eat them and then raise the embryos in a separate tank or container. It's a lot of work to breed and raise glofish. Check out this website if you really want to know the full procedure.

These don't get pregnant (technically speaking) because they're egglayers. Females will get plumper when they're holding eggs, though, so they can have a "pregnant" appearance.
Glowfish are just zebra danios, so you can find lots of information about spawning them on the web. The hardest part is telling the sexes apart, since the males typically have a yellow line between the other stripes on the normally colored zebra danios, and this may not be as evident on the glowfish. Females also tend to be a little larger and more "dominant" by chasing the males.
In order to spawn these, successfully, you'll need to have a second tank set up for spawing where the parents can lay their eggs and you can raise the fry without them being eaten by the adult fish.

Is my GloFish® fluorescent fish pregnant?
Aside from their color, fluorescent zebra fish are the same as other zebra fish in every way. This includes everything from general care and temperature preferences to growth rate and life expectancy. Accordingly, all females will carry unfertilized eggs upon reaching maturity, resulting in a "pregnant" look.
