Why isn't my platy giving birth?

Ratah9ngk9ng · Feb 6, 2021

Hi there,

First time having a pregnant platy. She has been pregnant over a month and a half, it's becoming an on going joke of when she's going to give birth!

Tested waters and it's fine other than the Ph maybe being a little low on 6.5, could that be it? She's in her own tank now 30L

Well, it's not weird that a female takes longer before she'll drop fry. But you could try to raise the pH a bit more.

How much longer before I should be worried?

There's no need to be worried it looks like she will drop within a week, gestation period for a veriatus platy can be as long ass 6 weeks depends on temperature and other factors add more plants to make her feel more secure and be patient

And as long as she's acting normal and eat normal, I would let her just be...
