okay, I have quite a few female platys and two male platys. I've had them about 2 months and only two have given birth, to my knowledge, in this time. One had 11 fry exactly one week ago but still looks huge and still has a dark gravid spot. The other one I am curious about hasn't had and fry yet and is quite large, but she doesn't have a dark gravid spot... I can see small black dots in her though which I believe are the frys eyes, not sure how long she has to go though. I'm trying to look for the signs but it is hard with her. A few days ago she was hiding under things and not moving much, only coming out to eat, and now she is really active again.
This is my first time posting. I'm hoping I uploaded the pics correctly. the silver one is the one that gave birth one week ago.
thanks guys. :)

The belly needs time to become small again because of the stretching wound.
I also think the other one should give birth soon.
