Pregnant Dwarf Platty

I know about the gravid spot. But does it appear as it it where on the outside. Or do you have to look "inside" her to see the spot?

Cause i can see several tiny black dots inside her, But there isnt a big spot.

Do you think i should take her out the breeder box for another week or so?

if you are seeing little dots inside her, then the babies are developing inside. when they all move to one side when it is time for her to drop them, they will form the big spot.

Dude- leave her in the breeder box. Fish are not "intelligent" but they are instinctual. Do a high volume water change in the tank and leave her alone. This massive influx of clean water will trigger her to drop. As aforementioned they are not smart but do know when the conditions are right for babies to make the step to "fryhood" and have a half assed shot at surviving. Do your best to avoid the tank-minimize movement around her and noise. Livebearers can die from stress realted to bearing fry so it is best to let her be and let nature take its course.
