Is it a swordtail of Platy? Looks like one of mine but I would look for squareness and gravid spot. I also would wait longer to see if she gets bigger and has her behavior changed?

All she does is mostly sit by filter and hide in plants

She could be adjusting to the tank. She could be a shy one. She probably is pregnant from the store, but doesn't look close yet.

Your platy is very prego. Watch to her hiding in corners at the top or bottom of the tank. Chances are, you wont catch her having the fry. She will probably wait till the lights are off. Make sure there are tons of hiding spots

i really want to try keep as many babys from her as possible cause i like her

so i really want to catch her having them\


estimate on how loong till birth?

 

[jwh0818]

I couldn't tell you that. I would put her in a seperate tank untilled birth and move her back after she gives birth

 

[Mrfishfrenzee]

I don't have another tank here is new pics

Nice job and good luck!!! I would maybe get a breeders net or something like that. I forget what it's called but it "traps" the fry from the mother so she can eat them. Sorry it took me long time to reply I forgot about this thread and it didn't email me:/ they are only around 8$ for that^ I would leave the fish in too long it will stress. Also can make homemade one on YouTube. Or just add ton of hiding spots ^

I am not sure if she is pregnant or not, but if she is she is in an early stage of it.
