Hello, I have a pregnant female platy who gave birth to two fry about a month ago. Then we did a transition to a 55 gallon aquarium. The conditions should be just right (high temp., good ph) for her to drop. She got so big and lethargic so I put her in a breeding net and kept her in the same 55g tank. She got mad and within 2 days her belly shrunk and she didn't appear as pregnant. After 4 days I put her back in the main tank (because she has a male platy friend she likes to swim around with), and she got bigger yet again. It is the weirdest thing. She still hasn't dropped, but is square, and i swear she has been pregnant for months.

Has anyone seen this?
