Still no babies yet?? She still has the white spot. She’s not even in a breeding net anymore just in a 5 gallon bin now with lots of plants to hide the babies. Figured maybe she didn’t like the net. But. Nope. Still nothing

she could be a little stressed or just not ready. sometimes they show signs but it won’t happen. that happened to me my second round of fry from my platy- she just didn’t feel ready. watch for a dark spot on her stomach move to the bottom of her tail... this usually means the babies have moved to the cloaca and ready to be pushed out. but keep in mind fish sometimes just hold on until the exact time is right. she might not like being in a separate tank.
