Is This Fish Pregnant?

As I rapidly learn about this tank of fish, I think two of the three platties are female. In fact, I wonder if this one is pregnant!

Hello!

The one in the pic is a female, but not pregnant, at least not yet . They are easy to sex, look at their analfin on the bottom (one near their poop hole, for lack of a better word) if it is fanned, like the one in the pic, they are females. If it is rod shaped, they are males. You'll know when they're pregnant (if not sick), they get much larger in the stomach area and get a "square" shape to their size when ready to drop. She's a very pretty one!

Hope this helps!

 

I would say she is pregnant! She probably has at least 3 weeks to go though

 

Any type of live bearing fish is almost always pregnant. This one just looks like she has a way to go.

 

lol technically yes maybe gravid is a better word?

 

Thanks everyone - I guess I better prepare!!!

 

Thank you
