Hey,

my platy gave birth for the first time just over 2 weeks ago and then had 2 more fry a couple of days later, however if you look at the size of her now she looks almost ready to pop again! is this normal? she looks like she’s swallowed a box as well which I know happens close to birth.

thanks!

It is not unusual for them to have fry several times. They may release a few at a time or all at once, mollies do the same thing. :)
 
Good luck with your fry, I had Black mollies that filled one of my 10 gallon tanks with fry and I had to give many away when they grew to prevent overcrowding.;) Enjoy your fish:fish:
 
This is quite normal for livebearer, if they’re stress they can keep their fry until they feel safe.
