I have a few good hiding plants and the tank separator with holes. I already have around 8 fry and hoping for more soon. :nod: I'm a little worried about the fry being different ages though. When should I take the older fry out of the separated side? I guess I'm wondering, will the older fry...

I'm 99% sure these 2 (one's a platy, one's a guppy) are prego (they're huge!) and I think another one of my guppies is too, but I'm not so sure about that one. I was wondering if anyone could tell me how long it'll be on these 2?

I looked online for a while to see what I could do and a suggestion was to fast her for a few days. I've fasted her for only a day and she already looks back to normal! I think I'll only end up fasting her for 2 days because she already looks better. Thanks for letting me know what it was :)

And is there ANYTHING I can do to help her?

She just developed this within the past couple of days. I really hope it resolves itself. If it doesn't resolve itself, what will happen to the fry she's carrying? Do you think she'll still drop even if she has this problem?

My platy has been pregnant for a while and she should be due any day now. I've never had a successful platy pregnancy and she's red and swollen around her 'private area'. Is this normal? Is she having complications?

I took her out of the breeders net today. She's been in there for about a week, I felt bad so I let her out. I was worried about stressing her out by moving her back to the tank, but she seems fine. I just don't understand why she hasn't had her babies yet! I guess I don't have the eye for that...

Still no babies :sad: . I hope she has them soon! I'm getting anxious...

I can see the tube in all my pregnant fish (there are at least 3). Maybe they're all about ready (I got them all the same day)? Or maybe I just think I'm seeing it? I'm not sure, but I'm really excited about baby fishies!!! :hyper: I'm just trying to save a few of the fry. Since I don't have...

My platy is obviously pregnant. She has been for a while. I've never had any pregnant fish or anything and I don't want to put her in the breeders net too soon. I already have her in the net, but I don't want to keep her there too long. I was hoping someone could look at a picture and tell me if...

I've been debating on getting a breeders net. If I put momma in there and am wrong about when she'll drop, how long can I leave her in there? And how long can I leave the fry in there? I know ideally you would want the fry to be about an inch before putting them back in the tank, but I don't...

YAY! I'm really excited! How do I know when she'll drop? Any signs I should look for?

I've never owned fish before and I think 3 of my platys are pregnant. I have 6 female platys and 2 male total (2 different kinds). I'm almost positive that they are, but I want someone else to look and confirm. They've looked pregnant to me for at least a month and I'm getting concerned. How...
