Ginormous Platy?

[Mama Karoti]

I have a platy that is HUGE. She and her sister were born in my tank to a normal sized blue Mickey Mouse that was prego when I got her. The sister is a healthy size, too, but the one is so huge. She shows no signs of illness or anything. She's gradually grown to this size. Is this just a product of growing up in a 60 gallon with good nutrition? None of my other fish are fat.

Here she is with my adult pearl gourami.



And here she is with her not so small sister:



I have no males, so she's not prego.

Are those glow light tetras in the back? They look pretty hefty too. I have to say that paltry is massive!

You and I should start a fat camp for fish. I have five harlies that are sooooo fat.

Is there a male in the tank? That could explain the roundness of your platy.

The genes must have been just right to produce such a large fish.
