What do you have her in it looks like a mini container. I am thinking about breeding platies and don't no much about it.

@ShakoSaber18 She is only in the small plastic "birthing container" while she is giving birth to her fry. The parents and the other fish you may have in the tank will eat the babies, so separating them is important if you want them to live. I got the "birthing container" at petsmart, although they labeled it as a "breeding container" you should not put them in there to breed.

your platy wasnt even fat, how did u know to put it in the breeder box?

[ChristinaR5]

it was fatter than the others, and she had started giving birth in the tank before I put her in the breeder box

Hmm see I've had my female platys for about 3 weeks and all of a sudden yesterday i saw 3 tiny fry...put my breeding trap into the tank and even with the "safety fry" plate covering the grate at the bottom they still sneeked around it and swam into the main tank and got eaten...

I have one like that, but I have no idea how to tell when she's ready. She's too dark to see her gravid spot.
