If you go into the live breeders section of the forum there are loads of photos/threads in there of each stage

well excuse me if noone answers me when i need urgent answers.

Notice in the picture above, the platy has a squared off abdomen. That is a clear sign she will give birth within a a day or two, though not all platy's will square off. Every fish is different. Stress can cause them to birth before they are ready.

 

[fish48]

yes Every fish is different

My platy looks almost exactly like that. Shes not completely squared off in the front but she almost is and other than that her stomach looks exactly like that. Maybe 2 days I think?

Is that pic of platy not pregnant a joke or do they just look like that

 

[fish48]

there both males

 

[mrp3]

Lol

What does the anal thing look like once it's open to let fry out

 

[Fishy friend2]

It is a white dot near her anal fin

 

[mrp3]

That's what I thought cause that appeared today and she looks like that 24 hour platy in photo do you think shell birth overnight or a little longer?

 

[mrp3]

I hope it is and isn't overnight. I want to see it happen ( that most likely won't happen) but I really want to save the babies
