I'm excited and a little scared because not only am I new to Fishlore but I think two of my platies are pregnant. Morning ( lol ridiculous name I know, but she's a sunset platy) and Minnie (blue platy). I know one of them had a baby because when I was doing a water change a found a fry chilling. it's hard to tell whom it belongs to since I had only one male and like 4 females. another thing is that Junior (baby name) looks orange but Minnie was the one Big Papa mated with.

there is that thing where "oh yea platy might be pregnant when you buy them and blahblahblah" and yea long story short
15g tank
3marimo moss balls
1java fern
2 boys
5girls
3ghost shrimps

I tried to upload s but it was being a total pain kept saying my s were too big, would love some help learning to upload s too lol

thanks a bunch, WW

No, unless I've horribly misunderstood how this whole animal reproduction thing works I'm pretty sure their grandfather is another platy...

Platy breeding is the easiest thing to do I once had 3 Platys when I started fishkeeping now I have a 60 litre tank full of Platys and they're all home reared! There is nothing to be scared about

If a female platy has a dark patch by the analfin then yes they're pregnant
