Well, I moved my Platy fry into the main tank yesterday. While they were in the specimen container for transfer, I got a close enough look to sex them. All six of the fry were females. Since they are0.75 inches long, I think they are old enough to determine sex, right?
The odds of having six fry, all female are pretty small, something like a 3% chance. There was one half eaten fry in the batch ( saw its head floating around), otherwise only 6 fry were seen from the fry drop and all were female and survived. The fry were delivered in a divided breeding tank, with one other pregnant female platy in it ( I didn't know which would drop first)
this will make my display tank go from a 2 male, 4 female ration to 2 males and 10 females! They will be busy boys, I am sure.
