They will develop their sexual differences within around 4 weeks or so if they are grown on well. Then the males will have developed a gonopodium and the females will have a normal triangular anal fin.
Hey this is sie. And when my platy had babys I was on va spo I do not know
big stomach
You should not have goldfish and platies in the same tank ever.
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? =
When they are big enough to eat it. Use your eyes and brain.
Yes, a pregnant platy will typically show a dark spot near its back fin called a gravid spot, which indicates that it is carrying developing fry.
Platy fish are livebearers, which means they give birth to live young rather than laying eggs. The female platy fish will carry the fertilized eggs inside her body until they hatch into baby fish, known as fry.
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).
no chance they find their own companion and breed this can be done only scientifically at laboratory levels
Just wait until it has its fry. You should get more information on how to raise the platy fry such as what to feed them. If you have any other fish in the tank take then out or separate them so they will not eat the fry. Hope this helps, T
Determining if a platy is pregnant can be done by looking for physical signs such as a swollen abdomen or a dark spot near the back of the fish. Additionally, a pregnant platy may exhibit changes in behavior, such as hiding more often or becoming more aggressive. If you suspect your platy is pregnant, consider providing a separate breeding tank with plants for the fry to hide in once they are born.
They can have 10-50 fry but you can never really tell. BTW they give birth to live young so immediately remove them from the tank and put them into a breeding tank.
