only a few, most likely the wild type swords... but. there are both male and female American flag fish, ( egg layers, so there would likely be more than 1-2 if from the flag fish ) and they could have been from one of the green sail fin females that got put in there , they may have come pregnant, and had babies before they wasted away... there are only a couple olive green babies that are around 1 cm long... likely not pretty boy platy's... this is a tank, I'm just letting nature take it's course... I can separate anything out later, if I like what is happening... of coarse I'm getting babies in that tank, before I can even get a pair of sail fin molly's going in the tank above it..
 
Good thing is that some fry will survive anyways...
 
a couple pictures several days later... they are still surviving...

... and some very pregnant wild type swords... the male, and these 2 females are very young, just more than babies themselves... I suspect that with most live bearers, they have more babies as they get fully mature, and their 1st couple batches, are only a few??? so the less pregnant one, may be the momma, of the couple babies in the tank???
