I'm Soo Confused!?!?!?

Ok thanks what is the longest I should keep her in there is it 48 hours and then take her out, wait until she gives birth .
And could I put another female platy in there to keep her company or will she be fine?

if she starts eatng the fry..return her to the other tank. I'm sure she will be fine in there..the other female may think she has been invited to a picnic.

Agreed. Take her out after she's dropped. No need to add another to that tank.

Ok so I just placed her in the ten gallon. She seemed kind of happy. (except the part when I caught get and transferred her to a bowl for like 15 seconds). Now she seems alright but she continues to become more fat and square off more everyday . I think that birth may come soon maybe even sooner than I think.

Have you seen the thread in the livebearers section regarding what they look like when they drop? Its a great thread with tons of pics...Needless to say, she will get much bigger than most folks think and she will REALLY square off before its all over.

 

[mrp3]

Yes I have seen that post my platy looks like an exact replica of those guys right now

Is it best to leave the aquarium light off all the time or turn it on the ten hours a day

 

[Meggie :)]

your light should only be on for 6-8 hours a day...10 is too much

 

[mrp3]

So 6-8 hours even in the pregnant tank

She is almost ready to give I'm going out for a little I'll see when I get home.
