Pregnant platy?

[senorkevin]

My platy is just sitting at the bottom of the tank. Could it be about to give birth? Also its scales on its belly looks like they have been rubbed the wrong way

She's preggo alright. Looks to be 24-48 hours before new fry. She may also hang out near the heater.

 

[senorkevin]

That too! Is the scale thing normal?

May be dropsy

 

[senorkevin]

What is that?

 

[senorkevin]

That isn't good. It is now hiding under a rock

Most live barriers like to give birth with the lights off, or somewhere dark.

It was dropsy
