Is my platy pregnant?

[njtransit21]

Yo,

O.k, well, in my tank, I have 4 platies (as seen on my signature).

Well, 3 of them seem to be fine. But the fourth one doesn't seem to hang out with them. Also, it's stomach is a lot bigger than the other platies.

Is this sign of my platy being pregnant, or is it just anti social?

It could be pregnant, they do tend to hide away alot as it can be quite stressfull for them. Does she have a gravid spot at all?

whats a gravid spot?

A gravid spot is basically the eyes of the fry forming inside the moms body, you can see it by her bottom and the closer she is to giving birth, the darker the spot gets, it also gets closer to her bottom.

It has grave spots! I guess it is pregnant.

Is there a way to determine who the father is?

Not as far as I know. They breed like rabbits you know and once they start there's no stopping them. You can expect fry about every 4/5 weeks!

It probaly is pregnant. Because when my swordies are pregnant they do turn anti social. Can you see the eggs or fry yet¿ that is a sign of being pregnant. try to look to the back of its stomach and if you see them. Then u know.
