one of my platys has been large for several weeks and been massive for the past 7-10 days. She looks fairly square to me and has done for a week or so, but can someone tell me if she is likely to give birth soon? I have her in a breeding trap today but don't want to keep her in there is she still has a while to go (to avoid stressing her).

I have attached some pics but can add a couple of videos if someone can tell me how to attach them as it won't let me do it the same way as I add pics. (Hopefully the pics are clear enough to tell).


ADDED - there are no black spots or gravid (sp?) areas on her although two other pregnant platys do have darker patches towards the rear (these are a different type of platy and less pregnant than this one)

Sorry for posting on own thread again, but can anyone say if she is squared off enough as I don't want to keep her in the breeding box if it is only stressing her and she is not near ready.

These are my first livebearer young so am like a mother hen trying to do my best for her and hopefully her young too.
