Hi, new to this motherhood. My platy fish or mickey mouse platy just had babies didn't know any of them were pregnant. Don't even know how to tell females and males
Only had 3 a day ago....I think?? As didn't even notice originally.
Can anyone tell by photos which fish was pregnant and if anymore babies will come later?
The last three photos are of the baby fry

Pic@2 is clearly a female. It would be better to take closer pics of the others from the side to ensure which sex they might be.
 
Baby platies normally (not always but most of the time) look like their parents. If the mum and dad are orange the young are usually orange. If the mum and dad are Mickey Mouse, the babies are usually Mickey Mouse coloured.
 
The baby in the picture is already a toddler. The fry were dropped a bit farther back than you might have expected.
How old do you think they are? I hope I didn't lose any then when I did a fish tank clean

So most likely the Mickey Mouse Platy then
