Birthing Channel

[gladfrog]

i have a platty which is well rounded and squared of her birth channel (white spot) is visable and has been for two days now, i was wondering how long after spot showing is she likely to drop? and do you think she might not drop due to the constant harresment of a juvenile nutty guppy who has taken a fancy to her?
any help please

She will give birth when she's ready, they can hold off if stressed but not for to long.
The other male should not be a problem. if your worried about the stress then add a couple more females to distract him.

so if the females avercome the amount of the 3 is to one ratio, the male will be the on stressed...

Male Guppies will try to breed with anything that moves...it could just be that she's getting ready to pop out some yummy morsels.
