Life, Love, Dicks posted:My questions: 1. Probably added more stress to the situation, but I don't think it relates to his shyness towards you. That's water under the bridge at this point anyway. 2. How long has he been in the new cage? If tonight's his first night in there, I'd leave him alone to settle in. If not, try letting your hand rest on the floor of the cage and let him go about his business around your hand. Give it 10 minutes or so and try to pick him up again. If he freaks, put him down and leave him alone for a bit, then try one more time with the resting hand. Repeat nightly until he figures it out.

Dead Pikachu posted:I bought a Platy about 2 months ago. Upon putting it in the tank, I noticed it was really fat. I just assumed that it was pregnant and that it would have it's babies eventually. Two months go by and it's still very fat. Is it possible that it might not be pregnant after all? It has two bottom fins, so it is female. I was under the assumption that all female live-bearers bought from stores were pregnant. One possibility is that she's storing a male's milt until she feels like fertilizing herself. If she's the only platy in the tank then it's probably the isolation that's keeping her stressed and not in baby making mode. Try adding another female or two to the tank and see what happens.(assuming you have room for more fish and all that...)
