D-Hawk Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 Hi my female orange platy has been fat for a couple of months today we thought her to be dead because she was lying on the bottom of the tank behind the filter but when we poked her with the net she began moving. I have a breeding tank do I move her now? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 Why not let her give birth in the tank? If you have plenty of plants the fry will hide. If all survived you need to think about where you would put them. Moving her now would be stressful and they can abort. If you insist on moving her to a breeding net, move the net under her, don't lift her out of the water to get her into the net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 Depends on the size of the fish but usually they look like they are about to burst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
