Pregnant Platy

[Vamosdevanti]

So she has been large like this for about 2 weeks. I've noticed she is chilling by herself. I've had to put her in a breeding box cause the male will not leave her alone. I even bought 2 new females so he can harass them. When do you think she will give birth guys?

4 to 6 weeks from pregnancy. So from now 2-4 weeks. Habitually around 28-35 days.

Her phenotype is very interesting...

Her "gravid spot" seems small, so I'm guessing she has a few weeks to go yet.

take her out of the trap and put the male in it

She gives birth to 3 babies she seems very relaxed and is spending alot of time in some java moss I've put in with her. She was taken out a day after and put back in last night

The way she looks (so, her appearance). I love phenotypes that look more close to the wild types.

I fell in love with her colours when I saw her plus she was heavily pregnant this will be her second Pregnancy but the first lot didn't make it as I had a goldfish who was eating them. Gold fish is now in fishy heaven. ( Natural causes). She's had 3 babies. I'm trying to more babies as I'm getting a 4 foot tank so need more fish and it's cheaper haha. The males will go to a local pet shop female ill keep

So it's been 2 days since she was in breeder box. And given birth to the fry it's been 3 days. I've noticed she was at bottom of the tank so I've put her back in. She's chilling again. Hopefully she'll finish off giving birth of not any babies by morning. I'll just let her give birth in tank and fish them out.
