10 Gallon Tank Platy with a huge gravid spot & released eggs

Update: the platy still hasn't given birth and she is well over 1 month probably 2 months, she looks as if she going to give birth and shows all the signs and she simply refuses, i can even see the fry in her

 

Update: i decided to put her out and keep the 20 molly fry in there

 

Update on the fry, they are doing well and eating, i believe snow still has at least one batch to go and moonstone which is snows fry who is a partial dalmatian is also pregnant, if any mollys or platys give birth not too long after I'll catch a couple of fry

The platies belly keeps getting bigger to the fact that its scales have started to lift off since a couple or days/weeks now

Oh dear AquaRain that’s not a good sign.

It could be bloated from eating to much ?
Or it could be some kind of internal infection/ a bacterial infection?

I have no experience with medication. They are not sold over the counter in Australia.
If it was my fish I would be doing lots of small water changes and stop feeding for a week.

Oh no, ok, I'll stop feeding, it doesn't get a lot of food either so it mostly poops out clear, i really hope that its just preg, tho i am very worried, i will ask my dad to do small water changes as well, i can also see fry in her belly but i am very worried and hope that she will be okay
I readed that on average a platy can have up to 20-40 fry and sometimes as high as 80+, tho idk if its true or not, my platy has been hiding and not been getting a lot of food although it does comes out to eat, it hasn't had a huge amount of food ever since i released it so im unsure if thats the case but I'll try to make sure it still doesn't get too much but i don't think its food related

 

Do you think she is having trouble giving birth, i don't want to help her hands on, and if she does die from what ever is making her avoid birth then i will free the fry but if she refuses to give birth and the fry are alive in her and she's just getting bigger what type of choices do i have?

 

I do not know if she has dropped any fry or if she has not.
I would definitely not try any attempt at hands on.

In my opinion something like this is better left to nature . A familiar quite tank would be my suggestion.

Ok, my parents won't let me move her just for her birth as they are against that so i can't move her, if things don't go as planned and she doesn't give birth, what do i do, as i can't move her, and if it was something internal or fatal and she didn't make it for what ever reason and the fry are still in there what should i do? What im trying to ask is, if she were to die from somthing potentially fatal how do i get them out safely? As i want them to experience life even if its just for a while
Also, if a platy were to have over 60 fry would the abdomen be much bigger than usual cause i think it might be possible because i don't see a way she could have been bloated as she doesn't get a lot of food and i don't know how she would get something without something triggering it, you know what i mean?

 

I am also saying don’t move her . The same familiar tank as she is in now is best.

I do not suggest any attempt at any hands on attempt at removing fry.
Sometimes we just can’t have what we want AquaRain. If the fry don’t drop it was not meant to be.

Alright

 

Update: she died yesterday

 

Sorry for you loss .

 

Did she manage to drop any fry, could try do the hands on and see if fry can survive??

Idk if she did drop fry, and when i looked there were only eggs sigh i think it was something internally, when i saw that she was dying i decided to humanely euthanize her which was very hard, she wasn't able to breath normally and nearly fully laying down
