Platy babies ( called fry when they are first born) are basically tiny versions of their parents. They are about 1/8" long and most will have coloration similar to the parents. Platys, like most other livebearers come in many different color varieties, coloration patterns, sizes and shapes. Your baby platys will show a variety of colors and patterns with somewhere are 50-60% looking very similar to the parents.

Your Mickey Mouse Platy fishes Mickey Mouse face on its tail went away What does that mean. Is it pregnant or sick?

If the Mickey Mouse face on your Platy fish's tail has disappeared, it could indicate a few possibilities. One common reason is stress or illness, which may affect the fish's coloration and patterns. However, it is less likely that the fish is pregnant since pregnancy typically doesn’t alter tail patterns. Observing other signs of health and behavior can help determine if your fish is sick or simply experiencing stress.

My mickey mouse fish was pregnant but she died so when i took her out she wasn't huge anymore what happened?

If you supply more information on your water parameters (pH, GH, temp and tank size) it may be possible to make an informed guess what happened to your (Micky mouse fish). It is a Platy (Xiphophorus maculatus) and is a livebearer so it is possible that she died giving birth.
