Pregnant Fish

[trotg001]

What's the best way to tell if my platy's are pregnant?

 

[slimeneo]

Well, a picture would help...

I have no idea how to upload one, I'm using my iPhone at the moment

If they've been in the same tank as a male, any time within the last six months, they will be pregnant (unless there's something wrong with them and they're infertile).

Download the photo bucket app

Is she pregnant? If so how far gone roughly? I've only had her a week

 

[fluttermoth]

Yes; both those fish look pregnant. The black and white one is probably quite close; less than a week I would say. The yellow one, probably a couple of weeks away yet.

 

[trotg001]

Thankyou, I've also got 2 other females that look pregnant but not too sure how far gone as I've only had them for a week as well, I'll upload a picture tomorrow

 

[fluttermoth]

Just look out for the squared off belly that your yellow one has now; they'll give birth within the next couple of days once they get that shape

If you want to save the fry I would sugest you put the dalmation female in a breeder trap right now.

 

[trotg001]

You thinks she'll drop anytime soon?

 

[Fish12345]

I would put her in a breeder trap now, beause if you look closley she has squered off whitch means she will give birth anyday soon.

She is very very VERY close, probably in labor right now, get her in that breeding trap! I know because she has fully squared off and have you seen how open her backside is?! It's to let the fry out.

I agree put her in a breeding trap NOW!!!
