COBettaCouple

they're so cute.. remind me of our platy fry.. how many fry do you have total?

Tom

I'm guessing that they are guppies.

COBettaCouple

yea, me too.. they look a couple weeks old or so.

Tom

Unless the plant(?) in the pic is really small, then the fry would still be pretty recent. But it doesn't look that way.

well see i went away for the weeekend..i left on a friday morning...and later that night my mom looked and she saw two of them...i came back sunday night and put them in my 5.5gal and i noticed another one... so if they were born on friday there only a few days old...and yes they are guppies....but im positive they werent there when i left...i have two females and they were both gravid and very puffed up...ones not fat anymore but it still has the gravid stop does that me it still has a few in there or does that just wear away over few days...i only found 3 babies...some might of got picked off but...any exprinced breeders have answers

livebearers can drop each batch of fry over 5 days or so, give or take. most come out with the initial drop and then it's like a few stragglers the other days.

Grats on the fry! My platy just gave birth about 6-7 hours ago; I found 68 fry and moved them to their own tank; guessing she had in between 80-90; found a few were dead; and assuming I can't find some still, they are expert hiders. Her gravid spot is already completely gone, and does not look like gave birth earlier tonight at all. Also amazingly her stomach was very light colored, a yellowish-white, and its turning bright red again already. Their may be more fry in and under rocks try gently brushing fish net against rocks to make them move a little fry will swim out of hiding spot; took me over 3 hours to find and catch the fry I removed.

i found one baby last night so now the totals up to four fry

The gravid spot won't go away Guppies can have four batches of fry, 28-30 days apart from one mating. They store sperm from each mating thats why they seem to be gravid all the time
