Hi all

Here's my mickey mouse platy,she is quite small in overall size compared to my other platies,anyway i thought i seen the birthing tube,but now i'm unsure,but she is huge with fry,i have put her into the breeding trap has the male persistantly pesters her :rolleyes: She's been hiding near the top for the past week
Anyway has i'm still a newbie to this squaring lark,can anyone tell if she's square enough to be kept in the trap?

 
She looks to me like she is getting close but I will never advise you to put a heavy female into a trap. I really dislike using them and will only use mine in an emergency to hold fry until I can set up a fry tank. My trap is long enough that it has trouble fitting into a 10 gallon so it is bigger than the ones you can buy today but is still too small for my females. I think they deserve better treatment than that.
 
I took her back out last night has she was getting quite stressed,i will let nature take its course i think :) No fry has yet
