when will platy drop fry?

[Rinzy]

I have a pregnant platy, she was quite visibly pregnant 3 weeks ago - She is a bit bigger now but she still has not dropped any fry. I have her seperated in a 10 gallon by herself. I attached a pic from 3 weeks ago - how much longer do you think till she drops?

I just took these pics today -

It looks like she's gonna drop soon. But I could be wrong.

She's been hiding the last couple days. She didn't eat this morning either.

Looks very soon. I'd say with in a week

Those are two very good signs(not eating,and hiding) your fish will drop either later today or tomorrow

Still no fry. Getting anxious

One of my platys is about the same size as yours, she's still quite active though, keep us updated on when she drops!

Ive got 5 pregnant platys but when i seperated them they did not lay . They were in a breeding tank for 10 days , as soon as i let them out they gave birth !!

Still no fry. She is getting huge!

They were stressed from the breeding tank. U should only keep them in the breeder for 2-3 days at a time.

Once the start dropping they can drop regularly. About 28 days on average.

Yeah i no they are always fat even once they drop .. I read they only need to breed once and will give birth 3 times before needing to be fertalized again ..

You will get fry soon. If's shes huge in this week if she has not already.

 

[Rinzy]

Still no fry...

 

[Cichildlife]

Can you post pics, sometime we can estimate when she'll drop...

 

[Rinzy]

Still no fry. Is this normal? It's been a little over 7 weeks since I noticed she was pregnant

Sometimes it can take a while... Can u get a pics of her?
