Pregnant Platy?

[oompaloompa]

I recently bought some platy and noticed one is fatter than the others? She exhibits all the signs of being prego; hiding in plants, being anti-social.. If she is, how long do people think until she drops? I'm new to Platy's so I may be completely wrong! Thanks in advance!

She looks pretty close to me, I would say a week, maybe a bit less - she needs to square off a bit before you know she is ready to give birth. You will also see a white tube at her anal opening when she is ready, for the fry to come out of.

My female platy about an hour before she gave birth:

Notice how she is extremely round, like she is about to pop.

Here is thee squared off belly, and the white tube:

Hope this helped!
