hi,
they are sweet :wub: , its cool to watch them give birth, ive seen platy and guppy do it, whats the plans for them all? all the best donna :)
 
well my friends are starting there own aquarium so i plan to give some to them
 
Be prepared for more soon (4-6 weeks I think). Plattys can give birth several times without a male present.

One of my platty had 30 plus last time & the other one had 66. After losing some to the filter I have 112 in total.

More due in 1-2 weeks and again 2 weeks after that. Could end up with over 200.

None of my mates are into the same sports/pastimes/hobbies as me so 'they ain't got nowhere to go' unless lfs will take them all. He will take some but not sure just how many is some.

PS. NEVER even seen ONE born in all that lot.

Not really I mean it's all part of the cycle of life, I was more upset with myself for doing tons of reasceach on fish AFTER i bought them and not realizing that she was pregnat, I mean I was thinking she might be but in the furture I will know about the fish i get BEFORE i buy them, also like I said I'm sure there are more to come.

How many batches of fry can a mutt guppy have in their lifetime? How about wild types? Kept track of a single female's total progeny?
