I've been thinking that my female Mickey Mouse platy has been getting bigger the past week or so, and I suspected she was pregnant. Tonight, I looked at her and she's enormous. She looks like she's about to explode.
Could she just be pregnant? Or does it sound more like dropsy? She has the pinecone symptom, but I can see how her scales would stick out from being that big due to pregnancy, too. I just don't know.
My black platy never got that big when she was pregnant, but she always had small litters (5 or 6, at least that's all we found).
Water parameters are 0 ammonia/0 nitrite/30 nitrate (kinda high). Although my normal water change day is Saturday, I'm going to do this tank tonight.
