Hi I keep a lot of micky mouse platy and others (no clue what kind ) so they keep giving me babies when the condition in my tank is right for them.
I have 1 gourami and 1 angel fish with them, they all get along, but when the mom platy has babies the angel likes to eat them, so I guess the platy just wait for a favorable condition to procreate.. 3 months ago I have hornwort in my planted tank, it grew all the way to the top and provided shelter for the Fry, until the hornwort melted and the angel and gourami ate the Fry... (it was sad)
Now I have a bunch of platy Fry, I only know what kind they are when they get like 3 weeks old. Last week I was treating 1 mom platy in my hospital tank for fin rot, her behaviour was kinda off so I decided to separate her.. and guess what! It gave me babies.. So now the mom is recovering and the little ones are growing healthy. Today I have to take the Fry out of the hospital tank. Here some pics....
