[*Sarah*]

:19: Well, this morning I went and looked, and there were a lot of undeveloped eggs, 16 of them actually, but there were also 3 live fry :) SO that means a few new babies!!! yay!

Sorry this might sound stupid but i thought platties had live babies not eggs
am i wrong or am i thinking this is a different sort of fish you are talking about?

Congrats on the new fish, but they ain't platies.

Platies are livebearers, which means that they give birth to fully formed baby fish. No eggs.

So what else have you got in the tank?

[MeganL3985]

Oh you know I didnt even think about that...your right, they are livebearers.

Livebearers expel undeveloped eggs when they give birth to the fry - that why there were some of both

Congrats!

Robbie's got it. I've heard of Platys giving birth to more than 20 live fry...but for some reason she miscarried a lot of eggs.

Well, you learn something everyday. Now at least, if we see eggs in our tank we won't think our lone catfish has been sneaking out at night.:hmm3grin2orange:
