Is she going to have fry soon?

Question

Well one of my platies i belive to be pregnate because i have seen my two males chasing after her but im not sure if she is. If she did get pregnate the very first time i saw the males chase her she would be 3 weeks in but she is not getting any fatter then the day i bought her.I do see a pretty large dark area and it is definatly internal but im not sure if that is just alot of poo or if it is babies.Im sorry i dont have any pictures to show you because my camera hates me and i have no way of uploading it..So my main question is...Is my fish even pregnant?

Answer 1

She might b/c you said that she was being chased by the males.Also, since you see a dark large area, that's where the fry are usually kept. But, you also said that she wasn't really considered fat. I'm not quite sure how big the females would be if they were three weeks preggo. Livebearers usually are due within 28 days after the spawning. So since she's might be 3 weeks, keep an eye out for any fry swimming in the tank for the next week or so. Good Luck!!!!!!!! XD
