i would say definatly a platy as i have two similar, one being a tuxedo platy with a long body also platies can have two different body shapes one longer and one shorter and stouter, they dont always look the same!! xx

Platys can go into a cold water set up as long as the water is room temperature, my platies were in a cold water setup for 6 months with a gold fish and were fine, its only recently that the heater has gone in once i removed the goldfish and this has had no change to them whatsoever, however i...

I wouldnt say it was morally wrong because you may help us all avoid this same sort of death in the future or at least help everyone identify the disease if there fish has it :) i know its not nice having fish death one of my fry died this morning, he was 6 weeks old and fine up until now, i...

i would just like to say, not all platies have the same shape! i take pride in the differing shapes of my platies and have recently due to size of tank had to give away one of my platies who can i just add did not have the regular shape of a platy but was more elongated, but this did not mean he...

i feel we should invoke more confidence in platyfanatics abilities to tell a platy from a mollie as they did buy the fish! i would love a black platy they are so rare! can never find anything like it!!!!! (also the black platy in my book doesnt have silver coloured fins and whilst the coloured...

nope her tail is shut as is her top fin, however the male hasnt been harrassing her ive bin watching since this morning trying to figure it out, i only have one male in the tank and he is more concerned with my other females! she is the only one he doesnt pay attention to, which i find odd in...

do you think maybe she may be going to give birth?? my others behaved sort of like this but she doesnt look pregnant to me so im well confused!!!!!!! and she only had fry about 2 weeks ago! (at least i think it was her!) xx thanks xx Kelly xxx

Ok my female platy has been acting strangely for a couple of days and i am VERY confused, i was just wondering if anyone had any idea whats wrong with her, she is off her food the last time she ate was a small bit yesterday morning, she hasnt eaten all day today wheras the others have, she sits...

Hiya, i have a white see through platy and her gravid spot was definatly orange as i didnt realise she was pregnant until she gave birth! and her middle was most definatly orangy peachy colour xx

My lovely platies! in this photo you shall see my pride and joy mickey mouse hi-fin, love her!

Possible bacterial infectin if her stomach is going hollow and not eating, look for signs of ulcers, is she having trouble staying upright when swimming??

increasing the temperature by one or two degrees normall helps to speed up delivery also leaving the lights off to de-stress the mother hope thats a bit of help! if you dont want to increase the temp its just a waiting game im afraid! xx
