Howdy, platy breeding questions

Is my female Mickey Mouse platy about to give birth?

Platy owner, looking to learn more
I think my Mickey Mouse platy is about to give birth, and want to know if I should move her.
29 gallon tank
25% water change last week
Water professionally tested and is ideal
Male to female ratio in tank is 1:3
I have some fry in the tank currently ftom another female, but I want to try a breeding box this time.
Is she ready?

 

She looks to be heavily pregnant… if you want to try a breeder box I would move her soon. Good luck with the new fry!

Thanks! That is my thought as well .
I will keep you posted .

 

Be patient, the fry will show up by themselves... She does look pregnant indeed. But it will remain a question if she's due soon despite of the belly shape. Probably between now and two weeks. Unless, she wants to hold on to the fry for longer. If she doesn't feel comfortable enough, she can delay the delivery.

Thank you!
Yes, based on observing copulation, I’m guessing she is ready. In addition her behavior has changed to indicate she is close. Less eating, white feces, and a bit more reclusive. Also, the two males are steadily chasing her into her cave.
That being said, I don’t want to stress her out, so the breeding box will likely not happen this time , which is fine.
I did spot this lil guy by her cave. ‍♂️

 

White feces could indicate internal worms.

 

White feces could indicate internal worms.

It could but since she is so far along in her pregnancy and eating less I’d say it’s like that. It’s a pretty common thing from what I’ve read and she seems in fine health

 

But white feces has got nothing to do with the pregnancy.
