I waited forever for my Red Female Platy to drop her fry.

Two days ago I had to leave without warning to go to Paris Texas because of a family emergency with my Great Grandmother and without thinking ahead I didn't put her in the breeding net!

She's much smaller now, and I have no fry in the tank.

I'm pretty sure I missed the birthing and none of the fry made it. :[

I could just cry. I had been waiting forever.

:sad::sad::sad:

Missed Pregnancy? This is the one I think I missed. (notice no gravid spot)

This is the one still pregnant, and I can see the gravid spot.

Check in plants, near top corners, near internal filter (if you have one)... or anywhere they can hide

I have, I've looked everywhere.
Under the decorations. Through plants. Took out BOTH filters and looked in them. Sat F-O-R-E-V-E-R and looked and none are to be found. At this point I just am watching the other Red Platy, she's expected to give birth in less than a week if I know correctly so I'm watching her like crazy.

I will try. But I have to find batterys for my camera first! :lol:

It's all good about the Kate thing, my name is Stacy haha!

I'll try to add them later.
 
Here's the pictures.

They were both due about the same time and were growing about the same size. Now one has a gravid spot (very hard to see in the pictures) and the other doesn't.

This is the one that I think I missed the pregnancy. (notice no gravid spot)
