Pregnant Platy!!!
AHHH I'M EXCITED!!!! She's been really big for a while, and she should be due this week!!!  I rearranged the tank so the babies can hide-
I kinda scared the fish while rearranging it ^^;
I'm pretty sure she's pregnant, anyway. The spot above her bottom fin is darker than the picture indicates
EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i have a bunch of mosquito fish that are close relatives to these actually and all my females are like that all the time. make sure your water parameters are all perfect because ive only gotten mine to bear fry once. and they will viciously try to eat their babies so those hiding spots better be dang good.
good luck!

Who cares if they are muddy or not, babies are babies and you will love them as their colors (or lack there of) grow on you! Congrats!

Can someone tell if my platy is pregnant? I can't really tell too well since she's a darker red, and if she is pregnant can someone tell how far along she is?
