Is My Platy Pregnant?

[Platygirl11]

Alright.

I just wanted to know if she was. Curiosity.
This is her.

Her and another two of my platys


Also, anyone else can feel free to post there own possibly pregnant images in hopes that their question will get answered.

I think she might be very early along, maybe...

are those the only platys you have? if so i doubt she is pregnant, they are all girls.

 

[Platygirl11]

No, I have a boy. He just doesn't like my camera.

I think ive got a pregnant one as well. Not sure what to do with her though, i have a breeding net i can put in although i dont want to stress her out/seperate her too soon, and i have no idea when shes going to go pop!

rodmol can you post a pic
and i would only leave her in the breeding trap for 2 days. i like to put a alge wafel in the breeding trap it tends to calm then down when they eat it

robmol
some good ways to tell are
is she squred off
is she staying near the to of the water next to heater fillter or somethink else
she wont stay with the rest of the platys
can be a bit agressive if the males harasing her
is her gravid sport dark

 

[Platygirl11]

She was stored with males when I bought her, so it is possible that my male is not the parent.

The one on top is my male.

yh its likely one of the males at the shop will be the dad
