Not sure if my platy is pregnant

[Brenda26910]

I have had pregnant guppies but not platy. What do you think?
Fat or pregnant?

Pregnant. Although platies can be pregnant for weeks, like mine. When you see more of a squaring in the belly she is probably closer to birthing. For now, I would say you have at least a week or more.

It's hard to tell from the pick but it seems like theres a gravid spot, but she doest look hugely fat. So probably no babies for a little while, usually there is a change in behavior , like hiding near the bottom in plants and such a couple days before they give birth.

The last two days she has been getting bigger but I noticed that my female mollies are picking at her a lot. She is still swimming a lot and a little pig at feeding time

Is there a male in the tank currently, or has she been with a male within the last month or so? If so, assume she's pregnant.

It seems like there's a gravid spot from the pick so I'd say yes she is. She doesn't look hugely fat so it's probably going to be a little while. Look for a change in behavior such as hiding in plants or decorations near the bottom of the tank. This means she will give birth in the next day or so.

^ I agree

Lol now in this pick I don't see a gravid spot, she does look plump though but she could be constipated

this looks almost exactly what my pregnate platy looks like! and mine has been prego for like 2 weeks and is a little bigger than that and starting to hang in the plants, I've had guppies but not platys! so its a cool thing seeing the little ones!
