Pregnant Platy. How much longer??


Recommended Posts

Here is my platy who now looks squared off. 
 Having trouble seeing a darker gravies spot. And overall unsure when to expect anything. Any thoughts??

I know they say when pregnant they eat a lot but the last two days she doesn’t seem interested in food at all. Still fairly active but is breathing quicker and hanging out alone in areas of the tank or towards the top ( but not gulping)

 

parameters are good and other fish all doing well.

Female platys are kinda like guppies. You just assume they’re always pregnant. They can hold onto them for a long time. I even tried sorting them by sex into different tanks. That didn’t work. They kept having them for months with no male around. 
 

so until she feels comfortable you may not see anything.

Ok. Still watching her. She does have some scales on her front displaced but nowhere else is this something to be concerned about? 
I also couldn’t tell if there was sign of a tail from a fry sticking out vs another scale? (First and second picture)IMG_8524.jpeg.87891188d7ee25e7177bde9c2625c0f8.jpeg
