I'm pretty sure my gold crescent platy is pregnant (Yay!) but I'm not 100% sure, just 90% because of the way she's been balooning up.
How soon should I expect her to pop? (And as would follow: how soon should I begin to grow brine shrimp/ prepare fry food?)
What should I do to prep my tank? It's mid-cycle; I had .25 nitrite this afternoon but have done a 10% and a 20% change since.
Would buying another tank to place the expecting mother in be wise? I could perform two 50% changes into it, transfer from substrate and keep.... something inside to keep the cycle going.
Bwahg! Help the breeding newb!
