Hey Guys, So I have 3 platys in my tank, 2 female 1 male.
Lola, the smaller female has been pregnant for awhile, and i can't tell if she is squared off or not, to the point where she's actually going to deliver.
I have had a pregnant fish before, which resulted in my baby platy, Goliath.
I just wanna know when she is going to drop so i can look for signs.
Thanks!

welcome to fishlore !!
she looks like shes getting close but a bit more squared is needed...see if you can see her gravid spot (near her anal hole) and if its nice and dark.....usually every 28-30 days they can spawn

Thanks Shawnie

I can't see a gravid spot.. Lola moves wayy too much. I'm surprised i even got a pic of her.
I figured more squaring was needed.. Lol.
I'll see what happens within the next couple of days.
I would know when she got preggers exactly, but since she was initially my project at school, I'm not quite sure.

Thanks!

I don't know if its the same for Platys, but in the 2days before birthing my molly's uh... rear hole got bigger. I'm guessing that it's the same as us humans, stretching to prepare for birth! I couldn't see a gravid spot at all and yet she popped out nearly 20babies and the only sign was the big bum. Good luck with your babies
