she is like a week overdue, i had her in a 5 gallon, with a platty, but she already gave birth like 2-3 weeks ago to 27 fry but now i moved her into a 1 gallon for a short while, i want to put her back in the heated 10 gallon, but last night i found out how hard it is to catch fry in a heavly planted tank full of hungry prediters, i caught 11 of em and now i found out one of my fry tanks has a leak in it well its more of a crack, i see drops forming, and i wipe them away, and fill the tank more, its sitting on a towel now, but she just keeps getting bigger and bigger, she is, and has been squarish is there anything i can do to make her pop em out?, like keep putting warm water in? somekind of food or med, ANYTHING?

Entice someting to give birth..? Wow, there are millions of pregnant ladies who are feeling like beached whales praying for this answer.

The answer: No, sorry. When they're ready to come out, out they'll come!!

i think i will float a 1 gallon tank in either my 10 or 30 gallon tank. in the 10 i have an assortment ofplattys, guppies a sword and a darter, and in the 30, its warmer and has a small juvi oscar. which do u recomend? i bought a fish and i had her floating in my x-bf's tank for a few hours, when i got home there were about 7 babys in with her, so im wiling to try it again, but i dont know which one, im leaning tord the 10, so maybe i'll try that first.
i guess i just had to have a convo with myself first

SHE POPPED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and to almost 50 babys i knew she was fat but !WOW! now, im up to 97 fry, i had 51 brfore so u do the math i SOOOOOOOOOOO happy, and i dont think i have ever seen her so thin, she looks belimic

Congrats!

You mean, she looks anorexic right?
