can you help make livebearers breed!daft ques but ive had my platies for months and still no babies..i thought they were supposed to be baby machines!

Still no luck? I know you have posted on this before. I thought you would have some little fry by now. Maybe your Platies are sterile, I have heard that sometimes with swords if they change to male too late in life they can be a sterile male. Since platies are kissing cousins to swords this my hold for them as well.

Do you think it might be something to do with the fact that they're all mickey mouse platies? I know that sounds silly at first but maybe they need to outbreed a little. I've heard platies are platies, though. I've heard they don't discriminate on the basis of coloration.

i thought they all breed together!
3 are males and 2 females they act as a group but ive never seen the males chacing females etc!Im gonna get another mollie so hopefully more babies and i might try different platies and see...
