I got some Mickey o: platies yesterday and I can't tell if they're pregnant. I tried my best to get close up without the pics to blur. -_-

Help! I never had fry before! What do I do? I have a 3 gallon with nothing in it. Do I put her in there? What one is pregnant, Mickiy or Minnie? What do I feed fry? I need tips! What day will she drop

HELP!

Edit: Sorry I was over excited. My palty is hideing all the time and being shy and chasing all the other platies away. So could she be pregnant?

The 3rd an 4th pics were kinda blury, but I think they are both prego. Minnie definatly is. You should If would be best if you seperate them and let them have their babies, then put Micky and Minie back together, and the babies all in the 3 gallon. Remeber to feed the fry well

minnie is just a well fed platy but mickiy is pregnant, your looking at about 10-14 days time before fry arrive, dont panic as they are so easy to look after. feed 2 times a day and do 10% water changes every day

None of them look pregnant to me :dunno:

I'm going to agree with Danno. None of the pictures make me think the fish is noticeably pregnant. She may very well be pregnant, but not close to giving birth. She does not look large at all.

I think she isnt pregnant because she is thin for a pregnant......I agree with Danno and theotheragent.....sorry....

sry i gotta disagree with you Denil, the platy named mickiy looks like shes going to burst really soon. my orange platy was smaller than that when she was pregnant and she had 20 fry!
