Hi there. I am new here.
I bought 2 female platys 3 weeks ago. My 4 years old wanted them & picked. The petshop only kept females in a tank so i thought would be ok without worrying any babies come. But was wrong!!
One of them started getting bigger and we thought she was just getting fat so gave some green peas and made sure she wasn't dropsy or any other problems going on.
2 days ago, got up, turned fish tank ligh on & saw Tigey(she is yellowish with black spot one like tiger so my daughter named her tigey) was very slim. And l
found lots lots lots of babies lol Over an hour got about 30-40 babies and gave up. Still more than 20 of them in 20G main tank. Guess she had about 50-60 babies over a night.
My 10G tank are full of babies now. We love them so cute and funny. But already worry if Tigey will have another babies next month. I only have 2 tanks, 10G & 20G. And i know babies can go back to main tank after 6 weeks later. So if there is another coming next month, there will be no room for them.
How i can tell if it was her last babies or i just can't?!?!
If she drop again next month, 4weeks old platy will eat new born ones?!?! Just don't like them be eaten...
