breeding platys

[abrahamavelar]

do platys breed as fast as guppies and mollys??? or do they cdont get pregnant as much???

Pretty much. Just mmake sure you have a good M:F ratio. At least 2 female to 1 male, preferably 3

I think all livebearers reproduce rapidly. Guppies I think are the fastest IMO but you will still get a lot of fry from platys. I keep both platys and guppies, well they're really endlers I just call 'em guppies, I keep them both in my 20 and get fry from both.

Ohh ok I was planning on getting a few blue amd regular mickey's breed n leave the fry there to let life run its curse but im not sure what do you guys think also the fry will serve as live food for my rainbow shark

 

[Aces11]

The other fish will definitely eat your fry. You can save them if you want and put them in a breeder box or you can do as you said and let nature run it's course.

You should have livebearers in a 1 male to 2 or 3 females ratio. I'm sure your female platy is very stressed with three males harassing her.
