Well I'm Baffled....?

I just happen to look at the fishies and i noticed an orange fry in the tank,i couldn't bear to have it eaten so i caught it,few mins later i spotted another 3 caught them also,2 orange,2 pale maybe blue?

Now in theory blue platy isn't due until after 1st sept?
orange platy not due until first week in sept
mickey mouse is heavy but no signs of her popping.
red platy maybe a few weeks gone?,although very hard to see a gravid patch because of her colour.

So if blue platy has started popping would she still get dominant orange/red fry has well as pale fry? her last drop were all blue.the male is a red wag.I must admit she could have had her last drop earlier than 1st aug,i only spotted them that day,couldve has them before that and they'd been hiding?

What do you reckon?,she doesn't look any thinner,well none of them do unless they've just started!!

If the red is a "few weeks gone", she is due to drop. The entire gestation is only about a month. Unless you have had them in your tank a long time, there is no telling who each female was with before you got them. That makes the blue color possible.

Mystery solved,it was the blue platy that dropped 20 so far,there's still a few hiding in the tank!

the other 3 are still 'heavy', red wag must be the daddy

When i bought the platies they were all in the same coloured tanks,reds together,blues together etc ,doesn't mean to say they didn''t have odd ones in there at one time
