Guppy Or Platy Fry?

MrsHennesy87 · Oct 23, 2011

they are 10 days old. im attaching a photo. just curious as to when ill be able to tell if there guppy or fry? or if anyone can already identify?

i've gone with guppy fry. look just like my two week old fry but then i've never seen platy fry so its a slighty educated guess.

i will be happy if they are guppies. one of my female adult guppies died the other night unexpectedly :sad:

dont think we can tell from that pic at this point. just give it some time and ull figure it out.

i say Platy

I say platy - I have guppies and platties and platy fry tend to be shorter and stockier and show color right away where guppy fry are longer, thinner, and take longer to show color. A better, up close, photo would help though.

Ok in a little while I will try and get a better pic and post it

sounds more like guppy fry now one has died. is your male to female ratio ok? my guppy died after giving birth. she seemed to forget how to swim and just sat on the bottom till she died.

i didnt have male guppies but them females were preggo when i got them. and ya obviously i dont know which one had babies and they all seemed fine when i went to bed and when i woke up and she was dead at the bottom of the tank
