How Pregnant?(Platy)

[Darthaus12]

My platy is really round and fat, and has a dark brown gravid spot with black dots in it. How close is she to birth?

oh, definitely.. without a doubt..

It sure sounds like it as, the increasing of the gravid spot means pregnancy. Although we couldnt be exactly sure unless you can get a pic.

I'm not able to post pictures via this website. Any other suggestions on how to post pics?

is she pregnant ?

Yep

Female livebearers that have been kept in a tank with males, will be pregnant. The females can carry 6 sperm packets from breeding with different males and they use the sperm packets to fertilise each batch of eggs. The females give birth about once a month.
