New to the forum. Any help to figure out if I should be keeping this fish separately or if I should let it out with others.
Is my platy pregnant or just fat??

Don't put pregnant females in a small fry box/net, they tend to panic and either die, lose the fry or drop them too early.
You're better off catching the fry if you want to keep them.
She doesn't look too far gone anyway. They drop every 5-6 weeks......

From here she doesn’t look pregnant or not very far along if she is. They tend to get a dark spot (gravid spot) by the anal fin, and when close to giving birth they “square up” by the anal fin.
