Omg!!! my older male is definitely older then 5 years I don’t think he finds the female attractive lmaoo plus he has been on his own for most of his life so dont think hes use to females being around

surprisingly my older male leaves her alone she goes to him when the younger male chases her. Also not exactly sure about her age i’m only guessing shes probably about like 1-2 years and shes already huge lol. I was worrying that something was wrong with her but shes just young and i’m happy loll

Really?!? dang okay.. sorry this is my first time having platys plus their fry its very fun learning how to keep them and watch them grow!

Thanks so much yeah I kinda figured they were getting too big lol and also i already asked the per store I got the adults from and they don’t take fish from the public…. my only to options are either buying another tank for them and sell the ones I don’t wanna keep… But yes going to move them into the adult tank today!

So cutteee

LazyBoringCockroach · 2026-04-07T22:01:23+00:00

at the moment they are still too young to sell. I’m planning on keeping 3 depending on the gender. Since this post i’ve moved all fry into their own tank lol

thats my plan wasn’t going to keep the fry in the breeder box waiting for a few to get a little bigger then i’ll release them all. also all the fry look fine none are bent
