I have a female platys who was due 2 weeks ago she has looked heavily pregnant for about 3 weeks now very square and very gravid and as i say was due about 2 weeks ago i know this because we keep a calender of when each female is due. She has not eatern for a few days and is very bloated looking im not sure what i can do to get the fry out as its not doing her health any favours.
 
Is she showing signs of stress at all, heavy breathing or clamped fins? I'm not sure there's anything you can do to induce her though, its a natural thing so I think she'll pop when she's ready

No stress signs but she is seperating herself from the other fish not eating and has all the signs of been ready to drop my main concern is that the fry are too large for her to pass and thats why they are not coming yet she is massive in size
