Pregnant Platy

[tropical-fish-keeper]

Yesterday, I got a new sunburst platy. On the drive home, I noticed that she was VERY pregnant, no doubt very close to giving birth. I immediately put her in the breeder box, but now she is at the bottom of the breeder box, not floating/on her side, just sitting on her belly down there. Is she okay?

She might be stressed. Could you take a picture? you should only put her in the breeder box when she's squared off and really close to birth or else she might get too stressed and have babies too early (or not at all)

Or kill her as she's gone through a lot of stress from the move from your lfs unless she looks like she's going to pop in the next hour I would let her out and turn you light off

uh... don't kill her just because she moved from the LFS to a tank........

Ment to say or could kill her a stress might be to much from move from lfs to your tank into breeder box
