Here's a closer look. Its the best I can do right now. I swear she doesn't like the camera. She kinda freaks out whenever I bring it out so I try to only use it briefly so she doesn't get too stressed and abort if she is pregnant.

Haha only a few of my friends have tanks but that's a really good idea. I still have to talk to one of my lfs' about bringing them in for store credit. I know my other lfs will take them but they wont give me anything in exchange. I know I wont get much anyway but if I got at least a buck each and she had 10-14 fry everytime.. Like you said, that's better than nothing haha
 
I also might be getting my hands on a 40 gallon "breeder" with stand and misc. for $30 so I'm thinking about getting a few more similar looking platies after its all set up and cycled :)
 
Can someone help me identify this platy? I'd like to get some more in the future so I guess I should know what kind they are lol
