well they keep breeding while there is a female in the tank and the water conditions are right. you should get at least 1 male and 3 or 4 females or 2 males and 3 or 4 females. you want to get more females than males so the males dont harrass the female. the female can often give birth 3 to 6 times without having to breed again. I remember when my male and this one female bred together and soon after her second birth the male died and she gave birth about 4 more times.then a few months her last birth she dissapeared. Anyway its about 2-3 weeks between births so if your platy is pregnant I hope this helps and good luck!!!!

All fish should be fed morning and evening as much as they will eat in a maximum of 15 minutes. They stop eating when they have had enough. Then is the time to stop feeding even if it is before 15 minutes. Any left over food must be removed from the tank befor it goes rotten and poisons the water and fish.

"You" don't feed a platypus because "you" may not own a platypus. They are a protected species, and sensitive to environmental changes.

Platypuses hunt for themselves, and they spend most of their nights in search of food. They require the equivalent of their own body weight in food, and that means a great number of insect larvae and tiny freshwater shrimps and other crustaceans.

Feed all fish in the morning and evening. They should be given tiny bits of food until they stop eating. Never feed for more than 15 minutes at a time.
