r/Platyfish

Got her at the store 4 weeks ago with another one one died is she pregnant?

Does this fish have dropsy?? Or the beginning stages of it at least?? He's doesnt look good but non of these babies look all that good. Video of what they were in in the comments

Hi everyone! In my tank I currently have what I thought was 1 male platy and 4 females. For some reason, the male absolutely HATES this platy and is constantly chasing it round the tank. Looking at the fins, I thought she was a female, can anyone help identify it? I’m struggling to understand why else he’d hate it other than it potentially being a male. Thanks so much🥲

Not my photo! I just think they are gorgeous

I am (finally!) down to my 3 ladies, and some fry I'm letting live until they get a bit bigger to separate. Looking for something to compliment my 20G tank, ideally for some population control since it's a smaller tank but not a deal breaker since I take larger babies to the LFS. I had a koi betta that lived over a year or so and was my centerpiece fish until he passed unexpectedly.. Would like something that goes with their color (orange, black, white, calico). I have 2 albino corys in there too, and some skrimpys. Tried a gold dwarf ram but he suddenly passed after 2 weeks(water tested fine...) Not sure if I should try another, get a pair, or what my other options are. Thank you for your input! Still newer but learning and want my tank to thrive.

Need advice from anyone who’s bred variatus hybrids. So my female variatus is pregnant by a blue wag male. So far she’s aborted 3 of the hybrid fry. They seem premature. Is this normal or should I be concerned? She still appears to be pregnant. Should I move her to a quarantine tank? I’m not sure if any other fry survived.

I’m wanting to put them in my I think 70L but theres so many of them lol and also the adults are in the tank too

I have two pregnant platies the light colored one is very fat and then the orange one any advice would be great when do you think each one will have their fry I'm thinking the light colored one soon the other one I'm not so sure about any advice would be awesome

It’s been sold to us as one, but not sure. Also she (assuming) is super aggressive towards everyone in the tank.

I have two pregnant platies the light colored one is very fat and the other one is getting there I need advice which one do you think is going to have the babies first.

I noticed her acting a little off on Monday so a week ago, she slowly just got worse.. I thought she was dead this morning but she is still alive.. what do I do? I don’t think she has had any babies for a few months, she has been thin, but normally after she gives birth she is thin until she’s pregnant again.. all the parameters are good, the ammonia was 0, the nitrite is 0, the ph is 7, the nitrite was 0 and the temperature is 78-79. The water and tank has been cleaned and there is a pleco living in the tank with aome bladder snails that I’ve been slowly removing.. I did a full water change at the first of April, because the water hadn’t been changed just added to over the winter. So far since the snails are in the tank there are some dark spots on the side of the glass.. I cleaned them off last week but there are some more.. and I’ve noticed some babies recently I’m not sure which fish had them.

Everything was fine a few hours ago. This started like 15 min ago.
