I've got a red wag platy that is pregnant. I lost the last female, I think she was pregnant and had popeye. but she died later in the same day as a trip to the LFS to have them look at her.
the question is, how do I know when she is going to pop, and put her into the floating hatchery? I would really like to keep the fry.
She is in a 55 gal with three other platys, 3 balas, 3 giant danios, a pleco, and an angel. there is some cover, but not enough I fear. I have an other 10 gal in my office (the 55 is in the waiting room) that has 3 tetras and 2 little yellow wag mollies. Ther is lots of cover in there, marbles, gravel, statues, but high current. Would the platy be better off birthing in there, without all the males bothering her, but with the high current?
