I just moved one of my pregnant platies over to the 5 gal. tanks. She looks very pregnant and i can se the white spot by her anal fin! It looks like it is popping out a bit! Anyways, she was just swimming up and down in her tank fast for like 5 minutes... but now has stopped and she is sitting pretty still at the top of fthe tank now, swimming slowly up there.. Did I just stress her out by movingher to the other tank? The males in the other tank were chasing her around quite a bit, I didnt want her to get stressed out in there by them.. but maybe I stressed her out by removing her. What should I do.. put her back with the others or keep her where she is? I do not know how much lnger until she drops her fry.. I tried looking at the pictures and I still cant tell (it is a different one than in my pics the other day)
 
When I move my platies and guppies into a birth tank they tend to do the same thing.
Swim up and down like mad for a while then calm down and hide out usually at the top of the tank near the heater/filter.
Personally I would leave her where she is as the males in your other tank will harrass her like mad.
By the sound of it she hasnt got long left before she drops.
Hope this helps.
 
I think she is settling in now and if you move her back then it might stress her out even more.
