Totally, but it doesn't look like it's gonna happen lol. Btw thanks to you i picked up two platys today

Lol. Should I put her in the 3 way breeders tank? I don't know if shell get stressed and die. I could let her give birth in the tank and scoop the fry into the tank...

I mean let her give birth in the community tank.

She will drop fry every 28 or so days if she is healthy and water conditions are right. We have 3 females that stay preggo. You can tell when she is a week to a few days from giving birth when her belly becomes more square shaped. I would move her to the breeder then.

Here are some more pictures I can really see the gravid spot now.

I got a platy yesterday that looks just like that, minus the belly.

Cool. This one is beautiful. I got another one that looks just like my pregnant one. The male that follows her gets confused. Lol

I went on vacation this weekend and had my friend feed them. When I got back, I found 1 fry! I can't find anymore. I guess my fish ate them all. bad first experience.
