She looks like she’s going to pop and she’s given birth a few days ago I don’t know how many I just saw 3 cause I was on a mini vacation well she’s getting bigger I think and she’s literally pooping long pale brown strands every time I look at the tank I feed once a day a reasonable amount can anyone help?

she’s the non Mickey Mouse one

Interesting. Is the other one a female? Could the other one have dropped fry? What are you feeding? Maybe it’s time to get some new, quality food. Sometimes old food can be a culprit. You feed once a day? How much?

Get some new food. Feed less. Feed a little bit, but 2x per day. Keep water changing, maybe 1x per week 20% just to keep things fresh. Remember to use water conditioner.

The other platy is female so I guess it could of been her though she didn’t get that big and I feed bug bites flakes tropical and sometimes there spuralina (I know I spelled that wrong lol) flakes. And I’ll feed 2x a day smaller amounts and do the water changes and the foods not brand new though I don’t know if it’s old it could be.
