My Female platy gave birth to her first batch of fry about 31 days ago I managed to save five of her fry which are now perfectly healthy fun lil things. yesterday she began to give birth again i put her in the breeding trap and she gave birth to about 40 fry heads. Thats right just the head...

all my fish have shakesperian names

I have one of those too and the fry manage to sneak back up and get eaten. I had a lot of trouble with mine when the mothetr gave birth so be weary and be ready to execute a rescue! :flex:

I was watching TV this evening and looked over to check on my heavily pregnant Platy and see a lone little fry swimming at the bottom of the breeding trap. Unfortunatly the little guy found a hole and found his way back up to be with his mom and become an evening snack. this happened three times...

Yaaaaaayy!! :wub:

There we go! :thumbs:

I'd get like 50 livebearers and let them go at it and fill the tank all by themselves lol

My female swordtail looks sort of like what you're describing

I have a white coloured female platy. In her gravid spot i can see pinkish lil circle type thingys ( haha don't you love my terminology) anyhoo she's in a 10g with 2 male swordtails and 3 other female platies. I got her approx 3 weeks ago. She is considerable more plumo than my other females...

I had this happen with some of my gravel and I too thought that it was an algea problem. But imagine my supprise when I removed some of it and noticed that it was the color coating coming off and revealing the natural gravel color underneath. I eventually changed all my gravel to te natural type...

Is it possible for a platy and a swordtail to breed? The guy at the the LFS told me so.. sounds a bit *fishy* to me ( haha sorry i couldn't resist) :rofl:

It is quite pretty. Makes my room look very tranquil. Its hard to explain.. but its a shakespeare themed tank .. :thumbs: :cool:

Right now i have a 10g (us) tank. I have 3 platies and 3 swortails in there now? I'm wonderfing .. is my tank fully stocked? or can i add more fish? If i can.. what do you reccomend? thanks!! d:D

right now I have a cold water tank but when the winter breaks i will be setting my 3 comets free outside in a nice pond in my backyard and will make my 55 gal tank a tropical community tank and getting a 10 gal for my black moor. I am wondering If there is a specific algea eater that will be ok...

Its the large filter that is reccomended by the LFS *still on my sisters computer*

I feed once a day (usually in morning) with floating pellets. They have them eaten in less than five mins. Edit: sorry this is my sister's account

My ADF seems to be sheading his skin.. but i'm not really sure.. One of his front hands is almost immbile and is covered with this slimey looking white stuff. There has also been some of this stuff floating around the tank. There is a lil bit of it on his back too. Is he just sheading his skin...

I got him almost 48 hours ago and i haven't seen him eat a bite yet. The people at the pet store said that he had been eating Frog and Tadpole bites, so bought those , but he doesn't seem to want to eat them. I tried just dropping them in the water for him.. waiting util he was at the top and...

How many times do i have to tell you.. the pet store lady said those big bullies you call pets would eat almost anything you put in there.. and anything they can't fit in their mouth they would pick on.. You should really see these fish.. they're massive! ( LOL I'm her sister.. ) :crazy:

It looks exactly like the pic of the pregnant guppy in the breeding thread that is pinned

Ok so i decided on platties on the advice from a few people here. One of them ( a female) is like a light iridecent blue with the mickey mouse marking on her tail. There is also a dark spot right in front of her anal fin. Reading through some of the threads here.. sounds like it might be that...

Does anyone know how clean it is to keep these little guys? do you have to clean the tank really often? Do they smell? I had some turtles once.. and well.. unbareable.. do these have the same problem?

Thanks alot!! I think i'm going to stick with just Mollies.. i can accomiadte the fly with a smaller tank that i am upgrading from.. I have a 55 gallon tank as well so maybe i should get an angel fish to put in there.

Hi! I'm New here! I'm working on setting up a new 10 gallon aquarium. I want to have some mollies in it and possibly some angel fish. Can anyone give me some advice and kind of let me know what i'm getting into here. I dont want to get into this with my eyes closed you know? I'm not going to end...
