I just bought two new platies, and I am now thinking I bought a pregnant female. She looked rather plump at the fish store, but I just figured she ate well or something (I have only ever gotten boys from that store as far as I know). Anyway, I looked online and now I realise she has a gravid spot, so I am almost positive she is pregnant. Anyway, I don't really want to raise any fry at the moment.. Will the babies just be eaten by the other fish in the tank? I have a male guppy, 3 cories, and now 3 platies. Having further searched online, I am pretty sure my current platy is a male, and the other new platy I bought is a female as well.
So, should I be expecting babies, and is there anything I need to do for her? How many babies do these things have at a time?
I can get a picture up if it is wanted.
Thanks!
