And one of the smaller ones, a darker individual with some interesting markings on the tail and mouth. Almost like a wag, but not complete black fins lol he looks like an angry little dude.

How much are you planning on selling them for?

How much are you planning on selling them for?

Not for much, perhaps $2-3 each, or $5-8 per trio. My cory fry $4 each, or $20 for 6 (local store prices are $8 each!)

You can get platies pretty cheap at my local stores, even blues. Most stores sell for $4-6 depending on variety. Many of these are looking to be wag and mickey mouse. All seem blue so far. But colour is still developing so, there could be surprises

So! Mama platy dropped more fry it seems the other day and i found a single survivor. So that little one is in with the older fry now. Haven't seen him since adding him, but hes just a little guy.

But photos of the older ones. Nearly all are wags! A few may be rainbow wags, as some got some orange tones starting. But theyre getting the reflective blues.

Very nice

Those fish are beautiful. Never seen those before. Congrats on the babies.

Found another straggling fry!

I've decided on my personal keeper for myself.

Hes been moved to my 55, where he will be okay, though small and skittish there. But he should be large enough now to avoid being a snack. I don't know the gender yet however.

3 of the larger ones will be going to my upstairs neighbour soon. I'm cleaning up one of my old 20 gallons for her, then setting it up with some sand and decor. She will be getting a cycled filter with it as well.

Hanging out in his new home!

Pretty sure he is starting to colour up as a rainbow wag platy. He has also become bold enough to bully a snail to death.

What would you say, @emeraldking ?

Well, he´s still growing. And so, the coloration "can" still change...
