Maidenhead Aquatics where we got the fish from said that’s what size tank we needed for that many fish and 2 males were chasing her I’ve seen her swim into the heater once or twice and I don’t know the water parameters ive just ordered some test strips from amazon to come tomorrow

I don’t know my water parameters how would I get them? but there is 10 fish in there 3 platys and 7 mollys. it is a 54 litre tank which is kept at 26°c constantly (I’ll add a photo) . 2 of the other mollys chase her around quite a lot and don’t leave her alone we’ve noticed injury’s to her top...

so my boyfriend has just come to clean our fish out and as we’ve caught one of our mollys it looks as though it’s eye is popping out? It wasn’t like this at all yesterday and I’m confused what it is. Does anyone know?

ill try that if she doesn’t have them tonight, thank you!

I can’t at the moment and idk when she will have the fry. I have brine shrimp and flakes I can make Into a powder? And there’s breeding mops in the main tank for them to hide in

As soon as I’ve caught them all and counted them they will b going in a different tank I’ll attach a photo of the fry tank

i have put a breeding box in so if there are any fry I can catch them and put them in there before moving them to my fry tank

Yeah I have left her in the tank normally but have put some breeding mops in for the fry to hide in when/if they are born. Her belly looks quite \__/ shaped rather than round when looking at her closely from the side

She also is still quite active but not as much as she used to she just goes around different parts of the tank where it’s quiet and just sits there for a bit until another fish comes and bothers her

Hi! Was hoping for an opinion. Is this platy fish pregnant?” it definitely looks like it is but I wanted to be sure and wanted to know if she is how long until she gives birth? I’m not putting her in a breeding box as I don’t want to move her because i think she may be far gone so I want to...

I thought that when I first got her but I’m still not sure. She hasn’t got any bigger and there isn’t any babies so she’s been back in the tank for around a week and a bit

What is this green stuff that’s appeared on my fry tank? it’s never happened before but has suddenly appeared over night? Does it need removing and is it bad for my fry?

Update! She still hasn’t given birth. Does anyone know how long until she might?

Hi, I was just wondering if my set up for the breeding box is in any way going to harm my fish, the place where the babies drop through floats up so I have placed two air stones in each side in the gaps to hold it down. (They arent connected to an air pipe) then I have an airpipe Slightly in the...

I don’t have any plants tho I have two artificial bushes but I have had to move one into my fry tank

Thank you :)

Thank you

In my fry tank there are 12 platy fry

There are 3 White Cloud Mountain minnows, 2 other platies and some mollies

Thank you, shall I leave her in the breeding box then until she has the fry?

I used a net to catch her and put her in a washed out butter tin which had her tank water in while we caught the fry and then moved her into the breeding box back in the main tank she was in but she hasn’t had any more

Hi, this platy fish had 3 fry around a week or two ago. Once we spotted the fry we moved her into a breeding box and caught the fry so she could still have more without them being eaten. However I think this really stressed her as she stopped giving birth and hasn’t had any more since but still...

Is my platy pregnant? Over the last week she’s been getting bigger and going and sitting in corners of my tank and I’m worried that she is going to have fry! It’s not an issue as I already have platy fry in a separate tank (born from another platy) but I panicked and put her in my breeding box...

I have a spawning mop in my tank and I have 3 White Cloud Mountain minnows and they have only laid eggs once but they were unfortunately eaten by my platy fish :( so would suggest to not have them in a tank with other fish, wish u the best of luck tho!
