Last night my mickey mouse platy burst...
I went to bed looked in to feed them and my mickey mouse platy was floating at the top with what looked like her intestines hanging out.. I was mordified...
I knew she was prego, so last month I thought it was time she was HUGE so I put her in the breeding tank and nothing happened. she was in there for about a week, so I though I miss read the signs and put her back in the big tank, and I kept waiting for her to drop, I have two females that droped there babies fine in that tank, so thought I'll leave her there and if she has them great...But nothing happened for a month, then last night it was awful.. The only good thing out of it is I have three of her little babies that I found swimming around safe. How can I prevent this from ever happening again, and what could have went wrong....?

Wow, i have never heard of that happening before. It must be some kind of rare disease. How are the water conditions in the tank?

My water is fine, All my other fish are also great, it was just terrible...
