do they tend to hide when the lights on and come out when the lights off.

Im just going to see in a couple of days and hopefully i will have some in my tank somewhere.

I think only one has made it. Just checked in the plants and i cant see any more. :( im hoping they are more.

They went into the main tank themselves as there is holes on the breeding box. Cant see where they are hiding though. 2 are still the breeding box in a bit of plant is over the top of it. Im just hoping the ones in the main tank are fine. When i was told they can didnt know they did it so well

There was 25 fry when I counted turned the light off and now they gone think they are in main tank now.

Lights where out on both times.

Just got in from work and the other female had her fry. Got loads but looks like she having more.

Miss counted there is 5 little fry.

And when do i take the female out of the box as there no gravid spot and she thin now.

Yay! I have 4 healthy fry this morning. from the one that was not so big. Just waiting for the other mother to have hers.

Its normal i went to my local pet store and they said its normal as the female not been eating much during the labour stages. Is your female pregnant as well?

The same pets at home. I buy everything from there.

Not yet, i went to the pet store today and got some bloodworm and a this thing in the tank that calms them down and stops them stressing out. The staff recommended it to me. I also got some info on them from the guy who looks after their tanks and he said that they are going to drop very very...

And the other female in the breeding box and she is now showing signs of trying to attack the other female. Why?

When he comes near the box she doeant seem bothered now. She just relaxing at the bottom of the box. I put her back in last night and he keeps following her and nudging into her all the time. So i put her back in. I know i shouldnt of but she was getting stressed out a lot. Her breathing has...

i just read some where that the gravid spot moves towards the anal area, is this true. 

they have been pregnant for a month and bit now.  here is a better pic of platy 2 this pic was taken last week sorry its platy 2. lol

platy 2 has a gravid spot but pic is not good i will see if i can find a better one. coz when she goes in the light it goes clear and when she isn't its very dark. how much closer for platy 1??

ok will do. and i have noticed the white spot on the anal area is open slightly.   platy one Platy two

how soon?? 

stringy i think 

yeah i was told in young platys they dont square off much when its there first time. i dont think the pictures are doing them any justice as when you see them with your own eyes. lol, but both are squared off and when you look from the top they are wide and from the front they look like balls. 

i have pregnant platys and just about an hour or so ago i noticed this clear looking thing coming out of them. Is this the start of labour. Please help as i don't want anything to happen to them.

updated photo's of females platys. and could you tell me what breed they are? both females had clear white pooh coming out of them, is this a sign of labour starting?  

Lol, its has helped a great deal. She now has a white clear thing coming out of her. I think tonight is the night, all she done all day is sit at the bottom of breeding tank and done a funny little twitch with her tail. Oh and i just looked at the anal area and there is a black dot in there...

Lol, i have been obsessive at the mo. Every chance i get im at the tank. Lol. Thank you very much as soon as she has had them i will message you. And thanks again for everything.

Will do. She less stressy now the lights are off and the male cant get to her. Yeah i was told they have fry every 28 days until the sperm has gone. I have just noticed that the white bit is now open and she not had a pooh since she went in the breeding box. After she has had the fry she going...

Hi, thanks for info i have turned tank lights off during the day as the male was harassing her all the time, i have put her in the breeding tank with the lights off in the room and tank also. I have put a heater as i have been told that the female wont birth unless the tank temp is to what she...

as im typing i just went to check on her but she too far back but i noticed a white dot near her anal fin and she was sitting near the other female who is more square than her. and i also noticed that she had this clear thing coming out of her anal area but it's gone now. is that a sign she...

Hi, i went to the tank this morning they were both hiding in the plants and when the other fish came near they moved away. I also have noticed this thin clear thing coming out of the area where the fry are going to come out on one of the females and she keeps hanging at the top of the tank out...

and i have also noticed her breathing is faster than yesterday. Is this normal before she gives birth to the fry? 

hi, still no babies, but i checked on them this morning and they are isolating them self's from the other fish and the male keeps shoving the other fish away from the biggest of the two.and they keep sitting in the plants. I don't suppose you know if the gravid spot becomes more clear just...
