Pregnancy Emergency!

[merter]

HELP!

First of all, i have 2 fish in my tank as i've only just finished cycling. Believe it or not either of us cannot remember the name of the tropical fish that we bought, and so first need someone to please try and identify it from the following picture:

So my tank is a 60L Biorb. I've never heard much about pregnant fish, how many i can expect, what the hell i can do with them. I'm a bit worried. Will my tank support them?

I dont have a seperate tank, but so far i see 3 tiny babies, and they all seem happy, as there are no other fish in there to eat them etc.

How many can i expect? What type of fish do i have? Will i be able to keep them in that tank, will my filter deal with it?

Please, any help welcome, big emergency here.

Thanks in advance,

Ben

Hi, I'm only a newbie at this, but the fish looks like a platy, we have the same fish in orange.

Cool, thats sounds about right, as i also saw Orange versions in the tank at the LFS when we bought them.
