Okay, I have a female red bar platy ( I think it's called). She is pregnant. Her belly is huge! I am wondering; what part of the body do the babies come out when they are born? (yes, I know they are live) Thanks!

Hi Fbn, the babies will come out just behind her Anal fin, which is the fin on her underside, near her tail, although I'm not sure what the proper term for that "area" is on a fish!

Thanks! Do they always have this fin or only when they are close to having the babies?

I think they always have it - all of my fish have that fin.
