Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Hello All,
I purchased three Platies from my local pet store to house with my small male Betta about 4 weeks ago. All is well, and they are getting along splendidly, but the other day I noticed that the two female platies have been growing a little large around their abdomen. I did a bit of research to see if they were possibly pregnant and all signs lead to yes, but I'm still not quite sure. I am a newbie fish owner, but am getting really really interested in it and hope to expand my aquarium collection exponentially.
Here's some pictures of the girls:
If anyone could help me out with this it would be much appreciated. I have no idea what I'm doing aside form the research I've done.![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
