Hi there, im new to keeping fish and have recently bought 2 platies from pets at home.
Only to find out from looking online that she may be pregnant. Im in the middle of changing over tanks into a bigger one and i have a male and female platy.
I can put them in together at the minute as the male just chases and chases the female!

Sorry the pictures not that good!

If you have male and female livebearers in the same tank, then it's extremely unlikely that the females won't be pregnant, but yours isn't showing yet, so you won't have fry for at least two or three weeks yet.

The chasing is always a problem; male livebearers are sex mad! You should really have at least two females (and preferably more) to each male so the male's attention is more spread and each female gets a break sometimes. The males can harrass the females to death if there are not enough of them.
