If you have a male in the tank (or even if you dont...) its pregnant In all seriousness though congrats your platy is pregnant. You can see the gravid spot and the fattened belly. She probably still has a little while to go but def pregnant. Watch for the belly to square, and the gravid spot to become very dark. Congrats again nathaniel

Well...the female I was telling you about the other day only had 3 fry as she had a really hard time giving birth , and think she was pretty new to it. The female survived though and the 3 fry are doing well so far. I think 20-40 is usually the average.
But if you keep her in your community tank, no worries as a lot will be eaten. Good luck with the pregnancy.

firstly Drew, so glad shes ok

when i know that im gunna have an explosion of fry and i know that i need to be sensible on how many i raise i just remave the females i want to save the fry from and leave the remaining pregnant ones in the community to have their fry and prune down the plants in the tank, they have them and none survive, its something that needs to be done at times.

congrats on one plump little girl, Drew has said it all so good luck on saving just a few.

Thanks a lot modaz for helping me out with all of this and for your support! I still cant believe she only had 3 but at least she is ok. Didnt think about pruning the plants, good idea How is your breeding going by the way? Well still unable to find microworms but I think I am going to be able to get ahold of some bbs soon, but for now they are going to have to enjoy boring flake food. Thanks again.

well without changing the subject of this thread sorry mcdaniel
yep mine is going ok, had a few surprises this week on fry drops, some good some bad,
looking back at the video of this thread, i had 3 females this week and seperated 2 into the birthing tank as they looked ready but the one i left in the community for a little longer and dropped that night and i lost the lot shame cause she was special but she only looked as if she was as far gone as the one in the video and was under no stress or anything. just proves its not all set in stone.

My sunset platy i think is pregnant but i have checked for the black spot...it doesn't have one, but i have noticed this odd white spot near where you have suggested, does this mean she is pregnant or is it something else?
