I have 3 fry can't tell who gave birth!

eagerinsight · February 19th, 2008

last night I fed my 6 platies brine shrimp, an hour ago I noticed a lot of floating debris which I thought was left over shrimp that my otto stirred up. Started cleaning the tank and noticed a baby. I put one of my pregnant fish that looked unusual in my breeder tank. But she hasn't had any since. I found 3 stray fry that I put in a fry net.

How much longer will it take her to finish? What is all of that fluffy stuff, afterbirth?

She may be having them and then eatting them.
Generally, most livebearers go thru birthing in about 48 hours.
