Pregnant or Sick

[dmbradley73]

Hi!! My name is Denise. I'm from Pennsylvania, close to Delaware, Maryland & New Jersey.
I'm so happy to be accepted into this group. I have learned alot of different things, by reading some posts on here. I'm new to all this aquascaping, having live plants & all the parameters. (starting to understand most of the parameter ordeals) Back in the day, you had a tank with a filter, heater & you threw some fish in & fed them. Not so much now.
So, I want to say HI to everyone?
I do have a question tho.Is my Platy pregnant, fat or sick? I think she has been fat for atleast 4wks. She acts fine, swims around like a normal fish

RE: sick fat or pregnant?

I wasn't sure if my Platy was sick, fat or actually pregnant.
As for the picture shows, she is a new Mommy to 5 fry.
Don't know how many she may have had before I realized.
Atleast now I know she was fat, but only because she was pregnant.
