Is This Platy Pregnant?

[fiskkeeperpro]

I looked into my sisters tank today to see 2 small fry, she had 3 endlers and 2 platys and 2 amano shrimp in the tank but the endlers are all males soi thought they had to be platy fry. These two hide in spots where they cant be attacked so i think they will be safe, should we put them into a breeder trap?
Right, now to the platy in question, i saw the black spot on er today but i couldnt get a pic so i caught her in a net and her spot kind of dissappeared??? i think ive done something wrong, well i got a pic of her so here she is...

You cant see the black spot that easily but i saw it in real life so i know its there.
Is she pregnant? And what do we do if she is? My sisters tank doesnt really have room for a breeder trap so it will have to go in mine and my parents wont let me set up a spearate tank for it If we do put them in my tank how to i do it without causing stress???

Boy my sister wil have a suprise when she comes back from guide camp

Thanks a lot!

Will

I dont think thats that far on m8, not near dropping anyways..

Always go by the size of the fish not by the gravid spot (the gravid spot is useless unless you can see the eyes of the fry in it). on fish like guppies and some fish, you can clearly see eyes in the gravid spot, this means that they aint far off dropping..

Yours however is harder to see because of the type of color the fish is...

a pregnant fish will look like this in the belly.. (this is a guppy but same principle)

Notice how the back of her belly is dropped as well, not just the front... if the front is dropped and back is not, that mean the fish is just well fed (not overfed but well fed)

Pregnant, but about two weeks at least off dropping. I could give you a better estimation with a clearer photo, I need to see the outline of her belly (the shape) to tell.

There is no way that fish is 2 weeks pregnant.. note the dip in middle of belly : that just eaten a lot
