pregnant platy.

Is she ready for the birthing box yet?

Blurry pic but it seems she is about to pop. I have never put mine in a breeder box since it may cause more stress on her. I have a heavily planted tank and lots of hiding places so for me it wasn't necessary. Is she breathing heavily?

Yes but she has been for a few days now. It is not a box bad wording, it is a 10 gallon birthing tank. I will try to get a better picture.

These might be better, my camera is scratched.

Definitely time for box or separation tank

 

[freshwaterashley]

Sheis going to pop in a matter of days even 24 hours she is definitely squared off I'd say separate her

 

[freshwaterashley]

Make sure whatever you put her and you turn the lights off and even maybe turn off the filter and or bubbler to make her more comfortable

I agree. If your tank is heavily planted and filled with hiding spots I would move her ASAP before she pops.

 

[00steppie00]

Okay, thank you both!!!!

 

[freshwaterashley]

No problem. I am very fond of platys mollies and guppies if you ever have questions feel free to send me a message

 

[00steppie00]

I do have two guppies that I have no idea how close they are, I will try to get pictures.

 

[00steppie00]

Here are as good as I could get pictures of the guppies haha any guesses?

 

[freshwaterashley]

Yes they are pregnant but you still have weeks to go from what i can see.. when did you realize they were pregnant? the gestation period is only about a month

 

[00steppie00]

About a week ago I noticed, the silver one is a lot bigger then the orange one but the silver one is quick and really hard to get a picture of.

 

[freshwaterashley]

Yeah i noticed. I actually use to have an orange one like that.. give it a week or so and try to get better pics .. one way i have found is best to get texts is by feeding them it makes the mall come up to the top and they don't move around very much while eating

 

[00steppie00]

These might be better.

 

[freshwaterashley]

By the way maybe you can help me with a problem I'm having with a male guppy of mine he is harassing my platy pair I've separated him into a small bit of Tanks for isolation but its kinda making me feel bad he seems to be very stressed out about it you know anything about this

 

[freshwaterashley]

Oh wow yeah the silver looks like maybe a week more. Does her belly seem sort of square? She is very dark in the back.. thats the plug.!

 

[00steppie00]

Yes, and I don't know if it means anything but her anal area also has a black opening and the other fish are chasing her and nipping there.

 

[hecurcia]

Get her isolated.
