I just picked up a few Mickey Mouse Platies and fancy guppies to add some color to my tank. The girl at the lfs told me that the one female guppy was pregnant. I have read that the pregnant livebearers get a dark spot behind their belly, I see a spot like this on the guppy and now I have noticed that the one platy has a spot like that too.
Now I am not sure what to do. I only have a 20 gal tank and if they are both going to have fry, can my tank handle that?? I don't think so, but maybe someone else knows more.
I am not overly concerned about keeping all of the fry, although it would be neat.
How can I tell when to put them in a breeding trap?
I am new at this breeding thing, so any advice is greatly appreciated.
