will she have her babies? I noticed her gravid spot on Feb 12 and this weekend, it got much bigger. I have her in a breeder because one of my other females keeps attacking her. I'm just wondering how much longer I should wait until I expect some babies.

It's kind of hard to say. Typically gestation is about 30 days or so but it can easily vary by several days either way. Just keep doing what you are doing and be patient, nature will take it's oiwn course in it's own time.

A platy can be pregnant for 6 weeks.
Breeders are not particularly good for fish, because it stresses out the mom fish and increases the chance of a miscarrage (which would kill both the mom and fry). It is better to have lots of plants and caves in the aquarium, let her give birth in there, and if you want, put the fry in a breeder once they are born
