Hiya

My female platy had a small fry about 2 weeks ago and only one
survived (my new record) I was just wondering about my female because
she now looks very large and I am pretty sure she is pregnant and I
need to know when she will "drop", so I can put her in a breeding
trap. If someone could help me out and tell me what a few "pre-labour"
signs are it would really help! I have also heard a breeding trap
stress the fish, is this true? (She is a sunset platy if that would
help)

Thanks

Paul

Swordtails can have fry every 30 days or so - I believe the same is true for
Platys... Maybe someone else here knows gestation...

One of mine had fry 16 days apart, she looked big until the second fry were
born and then very slim. I believe every 30 days is "normal", but my
experiance has been very different. My sunset platy clearly showed her
gravid spot for days before she had them. I never move my females as about 7
or 8 fry always make it!! I have 17 fry at 2 different ages and more due
anyday now.

the easiest to recognize sign is when her water breaks
