[alcidmr]

i also tried separating platys, they can be pregnant for an incredibly long time. i think not this long though. I eventually gave up and put them all back together again. I gave them plenty of cover and now have a 20g with about 30 platys. all sizes all ages. from 2 yr old to 2-day old fry. the numbers have been relatively stable for about 2 years now

might try fasting for a few days. then a bit of frozen peas. looks very bound up with something. hopefully just constipated. bloat usually doesn't end well
