I found babies! What are they?

[Lindsey577]

Today I found my first ever baby fish! I'm so excited! Now I just have to figure out what they are... They are either Dalmatian mollies or Swordtails. (The swordtails are a red and creme color.) What do you guys think? Thanks

Kind of hard to tell. Maybe another picture?

I'll try to get another, but its so hard to get a picture of them!

They kinda look more like mollies to me. In a couple weeks it should be pretty easy to tell though. Congrats!

My guess is Sword. I had a momma Sword and I thought the baby was a guppy for a LONG time until it got big enough to see for sure it started having a different body. I had lots of floating plants and it hid in there a lot and baby guppies wasn't a big deal at that time. Then after a couple of months I did a double take! lol

Now a very large female, I believe she is a Neon Sword.

it could either be the mollies or swordfish because the fries look the same when they are at this stage.

I have a bunch of baby platy and baby guppy I was curious how big they r suppose to be in a month mine are about a month and a half and r just barely getting color and I was curious if they can be put into the main tank yet the oldest baby platy at 1 1/2 months have red black and that sort of coloring.

Mouth size means possible snack size.

Well done on the new arrivals, they could be either so far! Just wait a few weeks and they'll turn to either mollies or swordtails

I have Dalmatian babies that look just like this so I will have to say Dalmatian in two weeks or so some will be lighter in color and darker and develop spots

You don't want to put them in until they are bigger than the size of the adults mouths. I wait til they have quite a bit of coloring and you can see fins really good.
