Is my platy ready to give birth?

[AmelieSmith]

I have had this platy for around 22 days and there's a male in the tank. I plan to keep her in the tank for the birth since it well planted but can anyone say when I should expect fry because I want to fish them out as soon as possible.

she does not seem that squared off. i would estimate one month?

That may still take a while...

When I first realised she was pregnant her gravid spot was barely visible and now it's rlly dark (pics are bad) she 100% has less than a month. She has almost been with this male for a month! I also bought her from a tank with males in so she may have been pregnant then!

for me, the color of the gravid spot does not say much. some of my fish have given birth with very light colored spots.
she is definitely pregnant if there were previously males.

True!
