hey how can you tell if they are male and female because i am getting some this weekend and i want them to mate plz repsond if u do it would be great i really want to know
@julianamun Yeah, that is the FIRST thing I thought when I saw this. Quite honestly I haven't even watched to video yet because I couldn't believe someone would do this, the rule is 1inch per gallon! The tank should probably only have 1 platy in there, maybe 2 if that thing holds more than a gallon of water. This person is clearly not responsible enough to handle even the easiest of pets.
why are they always RED?! my so-called platies have cool patterns and all of the other platies i see are either red or some weird color so can i have some help? :/
I have a nice looking maale that i wanna breed with another nice-looking female such as male mickey with doublesword female but the male just won't fertilise the females.
Ammonia, nitrite and nitrate are all either 0 or safe zone(can't remember) and pH is 7.2. Tips?
s it ok that after my platty mait i can give like 2 of the females away because i dont want them to mait again i dont want like a million babies im just asking for like a few and how many eggs dose it lay each time?
@devonmeloan They dont lay eggs, they actually give birth to live young anywhere from 30 to 60 days from mating. They also have between 30 to the most i had was 98 young.
If you dont want anymore as they are prolific breeders then I would suggest all males no females. They are better off with 1 male every 2-3 females.
@devonmeloan as long as the water is good and the temp is good and you have males and females they will mate on their own. I have had over 400 babies now which have all grown and been sold on.
@chicken7085 look at the fin. If it points down its a female. If it is going down its belly its a male

No its not its a 60lt biorb its fine. the babies are transfered to a nursery tank until they are big enough to sell to a pet shop.

If that tank is less than 10gl, not from me, but ur going to get so much hate for having so many pregnant in such a small tank.
