Hay Guys,


As some of you know my Platy female who was due to drop very very soon died

But to my delight when I came home from work today, there were 20 Baby Fry swimming around!!!

Some are Yellow/Orange and some are kind of Grey???

Has anybody heard of this b4???

If so what causes it???

Has she been putting it about lol

Cheers guys,

Congratulations! My guppies have had some yellow/orange and some grey. I think they can use sperm from different males to fertilize their eggs, so the fry would be different even though they had the same mother.

wait, the dead platy had fry?

 

[hot_hazza3]

no Spader lmao that would be a mirical not a suprise lol
the dead one died...end of
the guppy lives on lol

Congratulations! It's not abnormal for them to have different colored fry, in fact, it's quite common. My Platy regularly gives birth to wagtails and rainbow Platies in the same batch, for example.

haha ok lol . it is possible though, that when a livebearer dies, and its pregant, that it'll realease the fry at death or hold them in. then u cut it open if it holds them in and get the babies out. kinda gross lmao

Guppy's can store up to 4 amounts of spem in their bodies. this is just incase they run into bad times and cant find a male for some time.
So i think that some of the sperm can get mixed at some point

 

[hot_hazza3]

Like I thought shes been puttin it about lmao

Wicked so i might have some single coloured and rainbow coloured ones yay me!!!

Love them, but they take AGES to grow lol

post some pictures you have me all excited

 

[McMurray]

remember you have to euthinise any that have defects or this could cause suffering later. I dont like doing it but its beter for them and you in the long run

 

[angel_x]

congrats, my molly fry where the same hun different colours

 

[hot_hazza3]

Will get some pictures soon and wil uplaod them on here, there so tiny but big lol

 

[McMurray]

remember not to stree the fry to much durign the first month or you will find that they will all deform. happend to me to many times when i first started.

 

[Annastasia]

I'm guessing you mean stress them? I've never heard of stress deforming them...hmm. Are you sure your's weren't just very inbred, and got deformities from that?
