Male sunburst platys are typically smaller, have more vibrant colors, and exhibit a pointed gonopodium, which is a modified fin used for reproduction. In contrast, female sunburst platys are generally larger, rounder, and have a more rounded body shape, along with a visible gravid spot near their abdomen when they are pregnant. Observing these physical differences can help distinguish between the sexes.
A platy is a type of tropical fish. It is not a quantity or measure so one can not have a "platy of" anything including guppies.
If you have a male and female Platty together I can guarantee that the female is pregnant (gravid) no matter what you think.
I don't think so.
yes i have one my white female bred with a black male
They do mate! As long as you have 3 females with 1 male and you keep the tank well planted and at the right temp!
There is no reason to do so.
Platy pregnancy has three main stages: fertilization, gestation, and birth. During fertilization, the female platy's eggs are fertilized by the male's sperm. The gestation stage is when the embryos develop inside the female platy's body. Finally, the birth stage is when the female platy gives birth to live young. Unfortunately, I am unable to provide pictures to illustrate these stages.
The following link has a nice picture of a platy: http://asiatropicalfish.blogspot.com/2007/08/new-platy-fish-galaxy-platy.html
You should probably transfer it in a cup or trap it. ;)
The difference is that a female has a white bottom and a male does not.
Male writers are male, and female writers are female.
tell more about why its not breeding what is its behavior Mabe the platy tank is not suitable for the platy pair try adding more plants and hiding spaces for the fish and feed them more of a variety of foods flake + blood worms+live or frozen foods if possible
