? Pregnant Platty ?

[steve_muc]

Hi, hope someone can help. I've a few platty fish but im totally confused with my shemale one lol......it's gotten really fat and seems to be hiding away, the problem is tho is it's sex organs look male??? whats going on? could it be ill or something? They all looked the same size at one point but he/she is huge.

what have you been feeding your platy? My molly got constipated from blood worms and looked bloated so that may be the case. Are there any other visual or behavioral differences in your Platy?

you can tell the differnce by the female having a fan shaped anal fin while the male has a pointy one
try some peas to see if heshe is constipated,are you over feeding?? ( may just be a fatty)
sounds a bit fed up tho if heshe is hiding away,try the peas (boil and cool the squash them up in your fingers and feed)
