[tricky8]

just sexed 6 platy i got and i realise now i have been given 5 male and 1 female and the female has what i can only describe as black dots in the gravid spot. how long then before they are out?

You should have 2-3 females to 1 male, otherwise the males will harrass the female and stress her out. I would guess at about 2-3 weeks before she gives birth, but I'm not very accurate at predicting birth rates, so I would wait until someone else comes along. Thanks

Livebearer females delivers fry approximately every 26/28 days... depending on the water temperature.

Please get 2 more females!
