Pregnant Platy

Question
Hello, my Platy is pregnant and as I think in labor. She is
pooping a lot and not eating much, which i know are the
tell-tale signs of labor in this breed of fish. However, the
male Platy keeps following her and pushing her around and
forcing her to swim around. He also keeps swimming
underneath her and looking up at her belly. Does this mean
she is about to have fry? I am very worried about the well
being of the babies. Thank you for any help

Answer
I would get a breeder, I use Lee's Plastic 3 way Breeder. It's about 6.99 here at Petco.  Put her in the breeder alone. The male Platy could be stressing her out. This is the best way to reduce stress for when the fry are born.

Sorry it took me awhile to get back to you, my computer had broken.
