Platy Fry Coloring

[LionessN3cubs]

I asked over in the livebearer section but no one answered so Im hoping someone here knows.

Im curious about how long it takes for platy fry to start getting their colors. I'd posted on here that I platy fry appear suddenly so I have no idea when they were born. I found them like a week ago or around there and they were clear..almost no color at all. Now they have pretty orange colors and one even has a black tail. Im just trying to find out how old they are roughly based on when platy fry usually get their colors.

mine always take 2 week to have clearly noticable colours although they do have them from birth, it is a gradual change. Be prepared for more babies soon, female platys reserve some sperm from each mating session to reproduct quicker, have fun with your new babies!
