How long after birth will a platy show her gravid spot?
The gravid spot, from what I understand, is actually the eyes of the babies. They move there (to the back of the mom's abdomen) when they are developed enough and getting ready to be born? Is that right?
So the gravid spot is there not AFTER birth, but before. Unless, of course, she's pregnant again. In which case, it will take as long as is required for the new batch to develop eyes.
