Hi, i was wondering if someone could help me with this, i have two female Platy and one male, both females are pregnant. My question is how can i tell when they are about to drop? I see the gravid spot, they both have big bellies and they both have a great appetite. One of the females (Pumpkin) is showing more signs of labor, she is isolating herself, hiding, not eating really and just hanging around the bottom. How long do you think until she is going to have her fry?Bc my other female seem larger, but isnt showing any of these behaviors. (and ive separated Pumpkin, she is in her own 10 gallon tank with light, food, and hiding spots)
