mating platys

[fishme]

i've had my trio of gold mickey mouse platys and i have this small female about 1 size down from the other two,are normal size,but he mated with both.
i think i'am expecting fry,i'am so happy both females look bigger,i have two five gallon tanks waiting on the fry,and a breeding net for for the one who looks more ready to burst,.the females have been swimming from him,but he swims next to them really close and i see the gonopodium insert into both females and off he swims,


here's a pic of the male and smaller female

and the second pic is the male with same size female

Congratulations! You'll have more fry than you know what to do with, no doubt.

Can't tell from the pictures if they're pregnant or not, but if he's mating with them it shouldn't be too long.

Gestation for platies is usually 3-4 week, depending on temperature. Make sure to feed them high protein foods like bloodworms to make sure they're in good health when they give birth.

Best of luck, and I hope you have plans for the babies, 'cause before you know it, you'll have more than you can handle.
