Tuxedo Platy Preggers I Think?

[Nifheim]

Well i am pretty sure its pregnant. I had babies and kept them all together with one adult (i guess male) and its been four months since the birth of all the babies and now one of the babies is HUGE and i'm thinking she is preggers.

I just put her in her breeder just in case she is ready to pop. Her stomach is extremely large and reddish (bigger then the other fish) she is being chased around and its just hard to see black dots since she has black on her tail normally.

If she is pregnant how long should i keep her in the breeder - she has been large for a month now.

you shouldnt keep her in the breeding trap for longer than 48 hours
this is a pic of my platy a week before it gave birth

She is looking nicely squared off Nifheim, but so does that last picture that Kizno posted. If they are comparable, that means you would have as much as a week to go, more than I would have thought from her shape. In my mind, shape is everything and size means nothing. I find the mollies easiest to judge because they square up very profoundly but your platy looks very close to me. The sharp drop to a bottom from right behind the gills and a sharp rise at the anal fin is typical of a fish within just a day or two in my experience.
This is one of my mollies the day before she dropped.

This is the same female a week before she dropped.

Although she is huge in both pictures, the sharp drop behind her gills is not as pronounced a week ahead but is more rounded and the rise at her anal fin is not as sharp at that point in time either. Platies don't usually get as squared off as a molly so don't look for quite that extreme before expecting a drop.
