Hey it would be a week to a week and a half at tops. I wouldn't put them in the breeder yet.

Ok thanks south for the help.

There is three fin plastic plants on the bottom. And I have a lily like pad thing in there as well it has leaves floating on the top. Is the good enough? Or should I move a plastic plant to the top for some reason? I don't really know if they move and swim to the top? What should I do.

Yes you can. It is hard to see it since she is really dark red, but there is one and it is really big. It is in the first picture. I will try to get a better one. Tha is for the help. Should I leave here in there, or in my 2.5 gallon tank?

I put her in the breeding net a week ago because she was staying low at the bottom and hyperventilating. She has like doubled in size, and eats a lot. She is also pooping a clear string of something. Does anyone know what it is. Or when she will give birth. I will put some pictures on.

Well she was breathing heavily, but other than that she wasn't pushing against the sides of the net or anything like that.

Great because I put a bunch of live plats in there to help hopefully calm her down. Thanks so much for all the advise, it all really helped.

Ok just one more question. I put her in the net breeder so should I check on her periodically, or an I just suppose to leave her alone?

Sound like a plan. But what about the fry?

Maybe the latter of the two!!! You have really gave me a a peace at mind. I just really want to see some little swimmers soon! Thanks so much for all the help and advise. Now if/ when I get fry when should I feed then, and then how much, and how often m

Ok so you don't think any firy will survive? I was told that it would still work. Won't they hide I the fine platoon the bottom? How many should she give birth to?

Ya not problem. They have always kind of been the kings of my tank. They have nipped fish before too but it all ends up ok.

Yep no problem, I am glad I could help.

Ok I will try her in the breeding net since I have one. I don't have any air stone so I don't need to worry about that. And the lights are all off. But I am not going to lie I want to keep checking on her, but I know I shouldn't. I have a mother question, what do you use, the breeding trapes or...

It is a 20 gallon. I have one male platy, two other females, and three neon tetras. I have lots of plastic plants and two real lily pads. But I don't know if the grass plant I have in there are good enough shelter. I really want the fry to live.

I love you tank set up. And your fish, they all look really healthy.

You can put in fizz tablets and they have helped my fish. You water will turn a green blue color, but not harming the other fish in the tank.

I use the app and it is super nice. I don't have to long in to the interment every time, just click the app button.

You have been plenty of help. My whole family thinks she is just big not even pregnant! Well she ate in the morning and didn't seem like anything wrong, but then I came down at 5 and saw she was acting weird and not coming up from the bottom as she usually does. And then I saw she was breathing...

Yes theya re perfect. And my other two female platies have not been acting strange like the red one. So should I put her in my breeding net?

I can lie, I am going for the ravens.

Sorry for the bad pics

Then it would be just fine. The kind of heater you have can be for a 2-10 gallon tank. It will be just perfect.
