Pregnant Platy

[barrycuda]

my platy is pregnant for the first time. she is quite a light colour and i can see the eyes of the fry in her belly since a day or two. my questions are, 1. approx how long after you can see the eyes does she give birth? 2. how big are the fry? can i put the fry into the tank that has 6-7 week old leopard danio fry in it? thanks

the platy fry might eat the danio fry cos the danio fry i expect are still smaller than the platy fry will be - my newborn guppy fry are still larger than my 6 week old minnow fry
your platy wont give birth until she is squared off - the bottom of her belly is a flat edge - like you could sit her on a hard surface and she wouldnt rock forward or backwards
platys normally give birth in 4 weeks
