Will wagtails breed with Mickey Mouse platys? Different species of platy breed with each other?

One of my pregnant platys is sticking close to the heater. Any reason why?

Females generally like solitude during pregnancy. My guppy female is the same way he likes to hide from the males.

I only found 3 one has died already so I have 2! But I put my adults in a separate tank so if there is any I missed they will be ok!

I would think here would be a lot more than just 3 with a livebearer... Guppies can out anywhere from 25-200 babies at a time.

That's what I think. I thought I had another week or so I noticed yesterday she was smaller but just thought it was my eyes so I think they are 2 days old

I find that when they are really new (less than a week old) they hide a lot, and then all of a sudden there is a whole shoal of them. So there are probably more hiding.

3 tanks and counting! (6 if you count the bettas)
