I think that these are black skirt tetras. Found them in my tank a few days ago.

I hate to be the kill-joy, but they look like platys to me :S

macmom6

That was what I thought at 1st to but now I am leaning toward the tetras. Look at the vertical stripe on the body and at the eyes.

platy ben

Hmm i see what you mean, hopefully they will turn out to be tetras

Amanda

I vote guppies.
They have the wrong body shape for black skirts.

Nick G

They're Platys. Guppies are longer and skinnier.

Amanda

Alriiight know-it-all.

I've never had fry, so I was taking a stab at it. lol

macmom6

Platys are possible as there are two females in the tank and one did give birth - but - the vertical stripes about mid body and the coloration around the eyes makes me go HUMMMMM?? This should be interesting.

Amanda

They'll probably color up as they get larger.
I still say they're the wrong shape for black skirts.

FoxyGrandpa

platys mos def. mabey even swords

macmom6

Don't have any swords. That one is off the table.

Jonah

They could actually be guppy/platy X they seem to have a little bit of both to them, definately platty but possibly with a little extra thrown in. A clearer picture if you could get one would help

macmom6

Can guppies and platys cross? I didn't know that.

Jonah

No I am fairly sure they can't they are completely different species I had a senior moment there sorry so Platty seems to be the answer

tom28

yep look exactly like my platies..and they could have been pregnant when you bought them and didnt know.

bluealuefish

i have platy fry too and yours look like mine. check the tail shape and compare with the possible mommies, that's how i knew.. but i don't know what guppy tails look like.

Chrisson

Lol if they did then they would be called pluppies.

macmom6

I kinda like the name pluppies. I think I just might call the fry that until we know for sure what they are.

I have the two female platies in the tank that came from my husband's tank. We separated the males (he still has them) and the females (came to me). I also have two clown loaches in the tank but don't know if they are he's or she's. Same situation with the danios in the tank (the he/she conundrum). The tetra's I am getting an idea of who is what. I have male guppies but no females. It's a 30 gal tank (breeder style) so the load is fine for the tank. It is probably understocked.
