Conjoined Platy Fry!!

[Sasha]

Yesterday, my female platy gave birth to 42 fry but two of them are conjoined at the belly. The rest of the platy fry are normal. Here are a couple pics of them.

Oh.

How are they doing now?

 

[Sasha]

They seem to be doing fine and are able to swim together. I seperated them from the others, so they don't get picked on.

Here's another pic.

Bless their little hearts! They are so sweet!

 

[Fuzzy]

awsome
i hope they live as long as a normal platy

 

[bunjiweb]

That is incredible! Please try your best to keep them alive and see how they develop! Also remember to keep us updated.

They may seperate in time, or they may be joined like "siamese twins", Whatever the outcome, keep a log of it and you may be in next months Fishkeeping Magazine .

Thanks everyone. I'm going to try my best to keep them alive. I'll keep you all updated too.

I was so amazed when I discovered them! I ran down the stairs shouting, "My platy had siamese twins! This is so amazing!"

Wow thats really weird

 

[Whiskerz]

I've never seen that before

 

[aquarius]

that's amazing. i hope they'll do fine but honestly i don't see them living like that for very long i've never even heard of conjoined fish before. weird!

It looks like they're both fully intact, so as long as they can manage to eat and poo correctly, they'll probably live. How exciting! I wish you and your new freakshow the best
