First off, I know this belongs in the livebearer forum, but I don't know how to post pics there and I really need some help....

My female platy has been getting really fat, I thought she was pregnant, but after a week of no fry, I assumed she was just a piggie. Now I think I see the so called "gravid spot" but I just don't know

Help me pls.

Is that dark patch a gravid spot? The male doesn't have anything that looks like that.

Thanx for the response Chewy. She's been that way for about 2 weeks if I remember correctly. Lately tho she's been eating (and pooping) constantly. :p She's even been nibbling on the plant leaves (or the algae on them) which she's never done before. The male keeps following her around and nipping at her rear end. :unsure: I think I saw somewhere that the gestation period is 3-4weeks.
 
Like chewy said that is a gravid spot. :) I give her from 1 to 2 weeks left. Males Dont have a gravid spots only females. When shes about to give birth it gets very DARK. Good luck with the fry.
