The South! :-)
:confused: I have a pregnant platy, i put her in the breeder net last night, but she still hasn't given birth. I noticed her getting super huge and i noticed that she was swimming at the top and wanted to be alone when other fish came next to her...some were platys and others were the other fish in my tank (full tank description on my profile ;-)) I can post a picture to show you how she looks, but please help me...I really don't know what to do with her as me and her wait for her delivery lolz. Thanks a bunch!!!

FYI: I just took her out the breeder net

SHE IS ORANGE!!!!

Keep her in the breeder net and feed her normally till she pops. Separate her from babies asap or get a breeder box that does it for you. Usually happens within a week or so of noticing the plumpness.

Thanks!!!! :-) Do you think she will be stressed out? That's the reason why I took her out just now. She wasn't swimming around. Just existing the in breeder net.

She is better off in the net. She was probably just resting from having been chased about and hiding.

Thanks!! For some strange reason my tank has ich, so i took her out the breeder, once again, to get medicated just to be safe for her and the babies. I will put her back in tonight and leave her until she has the babies. I purchased her on the9th of those month and figured she was pregnant a few days after. So including the day of purchase, pregnancy time is 18 days including today. I read something about a 28 to 32 day of pregnancy...true or false? Will she be in the breeder for 10 days or should i wait until Sunday, when the ich treatment is done and i clean out the tank, to put her back in? Ich showed up last night :-( I blame it on the new fish i bought.

If water flow can go into your breeder net then she should be okay in the breeder net. You just have to make sure she can get food. You are spot on with estimated days.
