I'm planning on either selling or trading for store credit at my LFS.

So after about 2 weeks of my female guppy looking pretty fat and thinking she was constipated, I've decided she's probably going on close to three weeks of being pregnant. I think I'm going to have a ton of guppies here sometime in the next two weeks! Super excited! Lol

I thought I'd post a few pics of my platy fry of varying ages. The tiny black ones are 2 weeks, the yellow ones are 4 weeks, the larger black ones are 6 weeks, the largest black ones are 10 weeks.

The yellow ones are my absolute favourite! I have no adults of that colouring in my tank, so mama fish obviously brought some interesting sperm home with her! Their black tails, fins, and lips are awesome!

Mcor: pretty fish you have there. I also really like the yellow ones!

Kylie: sorry to hear about the loss. Hopefully she's just hiding and nothing has happened to her.

All of my little ones are two weeks old and thriving in the first pic you can see that one has a blackish looking belly this seems to be happening often with my platys .. is this normal? Ive never had platy fry before so it just seemed odd to me .. anyone know?

Maybe feed them a little less?I think may just be the regular genes that they recieved from the mom or dad.Did the mom or dad have any black color?

Not that i know of.. mom is a red platy and as far as i know the dad is either a koi platy ( red and white) or a red platy

 

[Leatherback1]

Does the red Platy have black near his tail?It could also be a cool mix of some sort with the polka dots.

Maybe some pics of the parents?

I've seen those advertised at pet stores as bumblebee platies because of the black & yellow coloring.

That's probably why momma threw out some mostly yellows.

Well then Im guessing its not anything malignant.They are alive and healthy so just keep doing what you've been doing.
