Pregnate Platy.. when will she drop babies?

[depthC]

I started with 4 sunset platys and every day one died so i just have one female and she is a little plump and she looks healthy and is aparently staying with me. So i just want to know when you can tell when she is going to burst so i can put her in a net breeder so i can save some of the babies. Thanks

oky down near her anal fin you will notice she's getting plump right. If she is a lighter color like ornage, yellow, white, etc... You will notice stuff starts to appear in that area. She will get plumper and plumper until between 30-45 dyas when she will drop the babies, To know when to put her in the breeding net will be when you can see eyes in that area, becuas ethatmeans the babies are almost ready, i've noticed this with my livebearers

What about mollies? I have a black molly who i know is pregnant but when will she drop babies? I need to seperate her to my fish bowl that I have seperated for the babies. Suggestions?
