After having bad luck with other fish i got platys. when will i be able to tell if one get pregnat? can different colors breed? wat do u feed your platys? thanks

When they get pregnant, you can usually tell. Different colors can breed. We feed ours cyclo-peeze flakes or omega one veggie flakes.

When your platy is close to having her babies, she'll get square looking at her back end.

Back around where she poops will start to look squarish as she gets close. I don't have any pics of this, but maybe some of our other members do.

Walmart is worse than petco or petsmart in the fish dept.

i live in a small town with one other store. i was in there shopping and they jus put her in the tank.

All we had in my hometown was a petco. The walmart there doesn't carry fish. I'm glad you were there to rescue her.
