[crazbunny2]

I have a platy that is looking like she is egg bound. i raised the temp and salt in the tank and no change. any other ideas?

[awesomeguy195]

as you can see his, his, his........wang

[BettaFiend]

That platy in the big picture in the second slide is called a peppermint platy.

[D3M0N1996]

Ok people, set up a new aquarium about 5 weeks ago, and i bought a orange platy, presumably a female, and its been real shy till this morning, when one of my swordtails died, and then this platy just lies on the bottom of the tank, upright, but doesnt move that much, cant tell whats wrong with this fish and cant find it anywhere on a website? can anyone help?

[xSomeRandomKidx]

@D3M0N1996 theres most likly a disese in the tank. or the fish is not used to it.

[littlelauren971]

@D3M0N1996 my platy sometimes just chill on the floor and all my other fish are fine, unless it looks sick, i wouldnt worry, though if you can, add some 'gold disease safe'.

its pretty good stuff (gold is the make)

[bradboy551]

nice tank and fish U SHOULD COME AND CHECK OUT SOME OF MY VIDS!!

[drball57]

do one on swordtails

[Nobodyknowbutgodknow]

Must it nescarry put in a heater for the platies ?

[littlelauren971]

@Nobodyknowbutgodknow nope :D as long as the water isnt really cold, room temperature is fine, mine used to live without a heater and they were happy, theyre just a tad more active with a heater.

[mermaidsaphire100]

this was really helpful cuz i just cant find anything else on the internet i also want to breed them

[godsmack875]

I didn't know that platies would try to eat their babies. About a year ago, I had two sunset platies and one of them gave birth, I think twice. So obviously I had a male and female. The first ones that she had, I'm guess that she was pregnant when I bought her, because she had them very shortly after being bought. A lot of her second babies didn't make it. Only one did, and I named him Lucky. It really sucked when he died. : (

[xSomeRandomKidx]

@godsmack875 aww that cool i like the name placement to and im sorry he died. if you saw my baby hamster video i came home to on of them face down in the water dish (he drowned) and i got him out and revived him it took 20 or 30 min. and he was just starting to grow hair so he was still a pinky kinda and i named him lucky aswell.

[godsmack875]

@xSomeRandomKidx Aww. He's definitely a lucky bugger. I should check out that video.

[godsmack875]

And I also think that two of my platies are pregnant. *is very excited* : D

[RealityCalling]

@xSomeRandomKidx Don't use a water dish with small animals. Use a bottle.

[Pop12646Okami]

It's BUTT fin is what it's called, not the pelvic fin...

[godsmack875]

@Pop12646Okami Anal fin... not butt. And there are anal AND pelvic fins.

[Pop12646Okami]

@godsmack875 I know, I just think it's embarrassing to say "anal" :P

[godsmack875]

@Pop12646Okami It's the internet. You shouldn't be embarrassed to say anything. Like... rectum.

[Pop12646Okami]

@godsmack875  Eh, I know, but I still am xD

[vinnyosborne]

Sorry but your voice is so annoying

[HamHamLuvsKirby]

what do u feed the baby platies?

[godsmack875]

@HamHamLuvsKirby That's something that I would like to know too seems how I think that two of my fish are pregnant.

[cvskids]

How many platy fish can fit in a 7 gallon tank

[shortkid2929]

I heard these fish do well with bettas, what is your opinion?

[xSomeRandomKidx]

@shortkid2929 it all depends on the "enviornmane" they live. (How you tank is set up) and also how well you feed them i seperated my babies from the adults just so i could be sure that they would live hope that helps. :)

[polarisgal]

@shortkid2929 i have three female platys in with my male betta. and i have never had a problem.

[xSomeRandomKidx]

@shortkid2929 it depends on the gender

[xSomeRandomKidx]

sorry for bad grammer xD and when i get 10 likes ill do a new fish care video

[joshy39769]

my babies got eaten ): i was so busy and i did not noticed. can the fry be raised in a breeder box?

[xSomeRandomKidx]

@joshy39769 Im sorry :( try again. and I belive so.

[LyricsFreak359]

@joshy39769 the reason they got eaten was probably because you kept them with their mother for over 12 hours. NEVER do that.

[xSomeRandomKidx]

vote up the video if you want me to do another fish care video or tell me in the comments below what kind of fish you want me to do and if you see a fish you want me to do a video on the thumbs it up :)

[xSomeRandomKidx]

@bontobewild123 the parents probably ate them

[wamoety123]

Thanks, I really loved your vivid and clear video and explanation.

[xSomeRandomKidx]

@wamoety123 your welcome and thank you

[happieeyore]

@bontobewild123 the mother ate them. you are supposed to seperate them :/

[RobbytheLion]

I love platies! But they always die on me after a few months so I quit keeping them. They always got really fat, and then suddenly they would look really thin. And then they would get diseased looking and die. All the other fish would be fine. Am I doing something wrong or is this part of their lifecycle?

[deathboy265]

@RobbytheLion ur platies were probally pregnant had babies and you didnt now it babies didnt survive and for the death they must have been really stressed out from the pregnancy and died this happens to alot of ppl

[ILYMARISA96]
