just wondering if a mickey mouse platy 's (shes orange) gravid spot looks like a round little ball because when i look at her inside she has a little round ball inside that seems to be getting bigger. is this a baby? i will try 2 get pic but now my camera is dead. also just wanted to post sunny's behaviors, so if anyone can tell me if she's due. she hides inside the castle in the tank, swims sometimes close to the bottom, and she chases away some of the other platys.
 
Darker the spot, closer to the due date. Theres really no way to say how soon, but if you want the fry to live I would take her out of the main tank, or have lots of floating planted so the fry can hide.

that's the best ive done with my pics. if you need better just ask and ill try :good: she's a whole lot bigger than my other female who by the way is recouperating in the breeder.
also i have a tiny problem. if she is due, i have my other sick platy in the breeder. if she is due , can i tenporarily (i think i spelled that wrong) put my sick one in a bowl with a plant and gravel until she is done having them?
 
tbh she just looks well fed to me, if she is carrying then she is no where near due.
