Is my Platy about to give birth?

[charlilikesfish]

She's been hiding lots and she's gotten much bigger in the last week or two although she is still very small compared to my other platy. Does this hiding behaviour mean she's about to give birth, and how do I save the fry without stressing her out?

no she is not boxed off yet

 

[Liambomb123]

you have two options put her in another tank and when the fry are born take her out or when the fry are born put them in another tank.

Yes, she isn’t boxed off yet, but if you’re worried I can tell you platies are amazing breeders! I had to get a whole new tank for my platies because they just wouldn’t stop breeding, and every month or so we take the grown ones to a shop! I couldn’t say what else would be making her act strangely, but I would leave her in the tank as at least my platies will breed under any circumstances!
