Yea She possibly is.Sometimes female fish give birth in a period of time For example she might not give birth to all the fry today maybe some today,some tomorow.
Thanks! I just purchased another blue platy and she is a little bit bigger than her, i got a bigger breeder, i put the other blue out, she seems more happy, but this one i think for sure should have hers within the next few days (i hope )
Totally not the case here, but this reminds me, some poeciliid fish go through what's called "superfetation." These fish give birth every few days for a determined period. One such fish, the least killifish, a livebearer, has been known to give birth in this fashion.
Just thought I'd share...
