The mother and the baby's are in the breeder net, separate from the other platys. Do I need to separate the mother from the baby's.
If it's her first probably between 10 and 20, In my experience, although my Molly had 30 on her first birth ! That was a shocker ! But usually my guppies and platy have had 15 to 20 ,Ok, there are only 3 babies in the breeder so far and she looks pretty chunky still. What is an average amount of babies from live bearers?
Aww sad for you the babies are awesome I have 3 tanks 2 are full of babies (too cute) I have rehomed quite a lot and rehomed the males, so hopefully no more babies but it was cool having them,What Canary Bird said. I have a female platy with two female swordtails and a male. They are always looking for babies to eat. I saw a baby in the tank this morning and they were like on a mission seeking it out. I really should get a breeder net but my boyfriend doesn't want the fish having tons of babies.

Oh dear I watched my guppy giving birth the other week she was too quick, she popped one out turned round and ate it ! She did this with about 6 , or until she was full ! Grrrr ... So I only got 5 out of that batch ....Well, just went home to remove her and all of the baby's are gone. Ugh, not even 30 minutes from her having them to eating them. Lol
