Pregnant Sunset Platy?

[Ahdogs]

Can anyone tell me if any of my fish in the picture are pregnant? I think the one on the right is but Im not sure. If one of them are, can I know how many weeks till she is due? Thanks

shes most likely preg if shes been in contact with male plattys in the last 6 months. i dont think shes ready yet... 2 weeks maybe? i dont know. mine got really fat before she popped.

i might be wrong... but if she dose give birth just put the fry in a breeders net? or if u have alot of moss or other dense plants some are bound to survive

I have another tank for the fry because I had a previous fish that died giving birth without me knowing, and when I cleaned the filter I found a few fry. I got three new platies last friday all females. So I just want to know if one of them are pregnant or not, so I can be prepared to save the babies. I don't have a breeding net or box to put the female in so I was hoping to save he fry by netting them out. I think one of them is pregnant since I can see the gravid spot with little eyes, I just want to know about how long it will take for her to have her babies.

Thanks for responding!

By the looks of those pictures, a while yet. At least 2/3 weeks.

Thanks, it keeps me from worry about when she will have them, since I'm a beginner, I get very excited when it come to them having babies!!
