What do you think? i love them they are very young ones.

The female is pregnant i placed her in the breeder and hopefully i will have 8 or so this week. I will let you all know how it goes. Don't mind the male white balloon mollie he's a camera hog!!! LMAO!

Your female does not seem to be ready to drop to me..

Lovely fish though.

she is very young and her gravid spot is very dark. how long would you say then

Dont go by the gravid spot, its pointless, lots have dark gravid spots even when not pregnant...

Id say she has at least 1-2 weeks.

With her been young though she might not get big. a clearer pic would be good with maybe a close up of her gravid spot.

hey 5teady i hope these pics help to see when she will drop.
you can see she is still a young one too.

 

[5teady_2012]

Possibly drop within a week

 

[omega59]

cool i can't wait!
she is doing what pregnant fish tend to do.

scoot around the tank
go up and down on the corners
and just very pokey to other fish that go near her

hey 5teady, i got a quick question. i have been placing the female platy in a breeder at night, but come in the morning i find she has jumped out lol. is it safe to place the lid on the breeder they have holes but i dunno if it is good enough for air to get in. thx!

 

[5teady_2012]

I place anything over mine but leave a gap at one side

 

[omega59]
