Reason: added mickey mouse platy picture
My blue-eyed beauty. I think she's a sunset mickey mouse platy. She has amazing pale blue eyes. This is the first time I get to render her eye color in the shot.
And also a shot of her and my other female platy with their male molly tankmate.
My sunset wag girl and blue mickey mouse boy. I've had the wag for 3 weeks and the mickey mouse for 2. Just a few days ago I put them both in the same tank. They don't seem to move a whole lot, compared to my guppies. Are platys less active than guppies in general? Or do mine just like to chill? I was expecting the mickey mouse to be all over the sunset wag, judging from all that I've read about livebearers. Not so much...
Here's a shot of my sunset mickey mouse platy female after she ate some mini-gravel... Look at what's coming out of her. Honestly. She gave me a scare, but she's fine.
The other one's a mishapped shot of the same fish, but I like the reflection of her tail in the background.
Here all of my platies I own. I had 2 that past away. One past away in November and one 2-3 weeks ago. Now I have hyper( A unknown platy breed) and 2 Mickey mouse platies females name sandy and pearl:
Sandy, Pearl and the red platy name Hyper:
Manuel( The male platy that past away):
And Princess on the left eating a earthworm:
I have very few pictures of the two platies that past...
I hope to be able to upload some photos of my platy fry at 2 weeks old;
Also, my pregnant mums. There is a before and after for comparison!
The one in the net (I think) is ready to go, she is actually in a breeding net, I just took her out for the photo, but she is not at the right angle to see how square she is looking!
This is the first fry I ever found from my son's sunset coral dwarf platies (he has five adult platies: male dawn/parrot, female marigold variatus, two female sunset coral dwarfs, one female blue rainbow wag). I found her along with a marigold variatus fry (didn't have the blue rainbow wag at the time, so it had to be the variatus since the sunset coral babies are bright orange from the get-go). I put them in their own tank until they were big enough not to be eaten in my 55gal sorority/community tank. Unfortunately, Ninja, the variatus fry who was still tannish clear and could hide anywhere, has not been seen since I put them in the 55gal. But Stanley, the sunset coral dwarf fry who turned out to be a girl, is thriving. She LOVES the hornwort that has taken over the top of the tank.

Look at what's coming out of her. Honestly. She gave me a scare, but she's fine. 
They are a lot of fun to watch. Heres some photos, and still trying to get a clearer picture
