yes
platy and swordtail are some beginners.
The guppy, platy, swordtail, and mollies are the mainstays of the fresh waters fishes.
Guppies first, then mollies, platies and swordtails all grow at about the same rate.
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.
A Platy is a Platy is a Platy.(Xiphophorus maculatus variatus) The fancy name makes no difference. The gestation period for a Platy is about 3 to 4 weeks under perfect conditions but can take up 3 or 4 months if conditions are not to the fishes liking. If conditions are really bad she can refuse to let them out and they will be still born eventually (sometimes this kills her).
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.
Make sure there are lots of decorations, enough gravel, and plants. The female platy will lays her eggs on these.
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.
first of all the platy fish smaller than the molly and has different colors than the molly's so fry platy will be red if the parents are red or blue if the parents is blue and smaller while the molly fry is bigger than any fry with known colors .. black brown yellow white marble or yellow on black... so did u know = How do you tell the difference between newborn platy fry and newborn molly fry? =
yes i have one my white female bred with a black male
The different stages of pregnancy in platy fish are fertilization, gestation, and birth. During fertilization, the female platy fish's eggs are fertilized by the male's sperm. The gestation period lasts about 4-6 weeks, during which the female carries the developing embryos in her body. Finally, the female gives birth to live young, known as fry.
