My big tank is a 40g and my smaller one is a 10g. Like I said I'm getting a bunch more tetras and I'm getting a separate tank for them probably a 20-25ish

I kept my babies in a seperate ten gallon tank for 4 months then out them into my large tank. I was mostly waiting until I was able to sex them so you don't have to keep them in that long but they were absolutely fine when I put them in. I found that they grow much slower inside the breeder...

So here's a little back story to all this... Recently I've lost a lot of fish due to ick the remaining fish have been treated and the water has been changed loads so that's all good. Due to this I've lost almost all of my tetras but I am going this week to get more. Previously the black oranda...

Just got a few new fish to fill out my 50 gal. thought share, so here's what I have :) 2 Cory catfish ( nacho and libre) 2 neon tetras (the Fab Four) 1 black skirt tetra (Bartok) 2 blood fin tetras 1 loach ( nowhere man) 1 golden loach (Goldie) 1 black oranda (coppertone) 1 pineapple...

First confirmed male!! I'm a bit surprised because it is actually the bigest of them all

Thanks for the help :)

Thanks :)

I'd say they're 1.5 to 3 cm they sizes vary a lot

I have 7 platy/swordtail fry that are 12 weeks (3 months) old and they aren't showing any sign of gender. When should I be able to determine the sex? Thanks a ton

Hi :) thanks

I've recently gotten a male and female Dalmatian mollies (about a month ago) and I'm certain she is now pregnant! :D I've successfully bred platys before and I was just wondering if there was anything I needed to know that pertains specifically to mollies. Thanks a billion!

I was mostly joking I still think they're gorgeous :) I recently got a sunburst tux platy but it's really young so I'm not sure what gender it is

I just found out my platies are really swordtails... I know they're basically the same but I'm bummed out now. My name is a lie.. I'm not a platy mamma I'm a swordtail mamma

She's beautiful. What type of platy is she? And I'd say that she is indeed pregnant

My pineapple platy is see-through in that area so I can't actually see the babies eyes clearly so I use the gravid spot to tell when she's pregnant but in most cases it's an unreliable way to tell for any type of livebearers. The best way to tell if she's aborted is her size. Has she gotten...

If your going to use the breeding box (which I use) you have to make sure you have a place to put the babies afterwards because being in that small a space can stunt their growth. I recommend their own separate tank until they are big enough or putting in lots of floating pants and hiding spots...

Thanks when I put them in ill keep a close eye on the loa and take it out if it starts being aggressive towards the newborns.

I have 7 pineapple platy fry that are aprox. 2 months old and their mother is pregnant again. They have their own ten gallon tank for them to grow in until they are big enough to be put with the adults. They have plenty of room and the tank has great levels in ph, temp ect. I'd say the babies...

The platies and swordtails will crossbreed but they will most likely only breed with another of their specific breed if that option is available.

Based off her size and stomach swell I'd agree with her dropping within two weeks

I'd say that she is pregnant and the dark spot is her gravid spot. If you don't want the fry all you have to do is leave them and chances are the other fish and the mother will eat the babies.
