How do you take care of Mickey Mouse platy fry?
Much depends on the size of the tank and if you have other larger or aggressive fish with them. Plants are always a good idea, plastic plants if you are a newbie, different sizes and colors, this will give your fish some places to hide if they are timid or chased by other fish. If you have a larger tank a few rocks can be used for decoration also, check out what is available at your local pet store.

Also remember that they are all tropical fish and need a heater/thermostat set at 78F as well as the other "water care" thing I mentioned earlier.

How do you tell the sex of sunset Mickey Mouse platy?
A female platy will be more rounded than a male platy, provided the fish you are sexing are a little mature, the older the fish the eaiser it is to sex the fish. The main way of sexing livebreeders is a little more reliable. Look at the bottom of the fish, just behind the pectoral fins and a little bit behind the anal opening. The anal fin in the female fans out in a triangle shape pointing downwards when she is relaxed. The male's anal fin is modified into a penis-like organ (gonopodium) which points backwards and does not fan out when he hovers in the water. This method works for all livebreeders (platy, guppy, molly, swordtail) and not just any particular colour (though sunset mickey mouse sounds very pretty! My male is a sunset helmethead with black sides.) The male sexual organs are some of the last things to develop and so juvenile females suddenly switching to male is quite common.
Should pregnant female red wag platy be kept away from the male?
