My female platy has a few black dots in her lower belly. How much longer will it be before she drops?
 
They have a gestation period typically around 28 days. They can go earlier or hold for a bit longer, depending upon conditions, etc.

Not sure if this is always the case but my female spends a LOT of time on the bottom when it nears drop time I have noticed. I'm sure she's getting ready for her 3rd drop since I got her, I have 9 4 month olds ina 5 gallon tank at the moment. I moved mom to a 20g high with 4 zebra danios 2 weeks ago.
