Platy breeding

[jrskater1999]

I recently introduced 3 platys to my tank making:
Females:
1 red Mickey mouse
1 gold Mickey mouse
1 sunburst wag
Males:
1 red wag
When should I start seeing the females getting fat?
Thanks

Soon.Let them drop fry in the tank then remove fry to a breeder trap or a seperate tank.

I agree with emerald, they will be pregnant soon. I had male and female platies in a community tank, two of which were pregnant and I only found two babies. The rest I assume were eaten, therefore move them into a hatchery or separate tank after birth
