Just had a baby.....

....fish! While cleaning and de-snailing the tank this afternoon I noticed a small Platy fry hiding in the plants. It seems to be a female. I know one of my adult Palty(s) had been looking huge for a while so seeing as they are live bearers I assumed it was pregnant. Seeing as it looked like that for ages I thought maybe it wasn't. Last week the belly had gone but I couldn't see any fry. Seems this one has survived and as I lost a Platy last week I've decided to keep it.

 

Congratulations!

 

Awesome

Gratzzzzzzzzzzz

 

Are they good with chips ?

 

Well what is it a boy or girl and how heavy, is the mother OK and have you named him/her yet?

 

& just before Mothers Day here in Convictland, how fortuitous

 

congratulations - must do mine today. no babies thou. too cold in my tank

 

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but the fish I was talking about here has just had a baby fish of it's own. So another free fish from a free fish!

 

Grand parent fish ...nice one!

 

You'll have enough soon for DUBious's chips.

 

use fry crisp n dry

 

Just been watching the fish and noticed another fry. Soon have enough for a nugget if they keep on like this. Excuse the crustiness at the bottom:
