I mire meant like where the fish is exactly. I know it's with you but is it in the same container as it was previously?
If those measurements are in inches than no. You need a tank with the length of 20 inches minimum.
Well sometimes the site glitches and people don't get notified OR they seriously don't know. Like I'm not knowledgeable in the "fish poo department" so I can't help you at all with what that means
I'd say that would be ok!
oh there still in the same aquarium cause its the only one.
great!
Which means they should prepare for more platies.
I'm afraid the photos are not clear enough.
Lok at the anal fin, that's the one underneath the fish right in front of the tail. If it is triangular like the one on the back, it's female. If the anal fin is more like a rod than a triangle, it's male. There is a helpful diagram in post #4 of this thread

Baby fish problem!
Tank is up and running well but I now have a problem with too many baby platty. Is there anything better I can get to keep the numbers down? I have woken up to 15 babies in there today. Below what I currently have 120 litres 3 Cory 3 platy 2 dwarf gourami 6 little shrimp 4 cardinals

Yah they will reproduce if given the chance

Why are these fish in a bare bottom tank with no protection for them or the fry? They look scared to me.
The tip of this anal fin is already getting sharp edged. This means that this is an anal fin into transition into a gonopodium (male sexual organ). This specimen is either a late male or a female that changes into a male. Last mentioned must be a female of the WX or WY sex chromosome combination. XX females remain female.
The poop seems a right color of the orange platy. Sometimes it's just long but nothing to be worried about.
Most likely...
Thing about platies is that they are live bearers. Most fish lay eggs. And those same fish will eat their own eggs. But fish like platies, guppies or mollies give birth to live young. So the only way to not have babies is to separate them by gender.
Whatever you do, please add some substrate like gravel or sand and some decor as soon as you can. Even like plastic plants that they can explore or hide in.
