I am fairly new to this. I had a Molly and a Platy that both produced fry ( I have a new 10 gallon tank just for the little guys). I have 14 altogether now. Question is, do these breeds normally die after giving birth? Both seemed to be birthing over a period of a 3-4 days (hanging out near the bottom, not moving much, a little one every now and then). Once they were done, both seemed to "give up" and died at the bottom of the tank. I have a 20 gallon tank with 4 Neon Tetra's, 3 (was 4) Platys, 1 (was 2) Molly, 1 guppy, 1 placosytmus and an African dwarf frog and all are fine. Water tests fine. Anyone with more knowledge on this subject??
