the dark spot on her abdomen which I am guessing is the eyes, how long after you see that will she give birth? Also should I seperate the other fish from her? I have 3 tetras and 2 mollies and 1 zebra fish in the same tank....will they eat the young???

I have a tank similar to yours and just recently one day i noticed little tiny while things swimming around I realized they were baby fish that came from my white platy. So i immediately had to catch all of them and put them in a little net that hangs off the side of the tank. If i were you I wouldn't keep the little baby fish around all the other fish. I know they say that some will not bother the baby fish but not every fish is the same and I have had a few that were not supposed to be aggressive and they very much so are . Having baby fish are fun and they are fun to watch just keep them together alone and feed them and you will slowly watch them get bigger I have a tank full of all kinds of tropical community fish good luck just keep them safe because even though these kind of fish are not supposed to be aggressive some can and will be. ;)

Your fish has eyes on the stomach? You have a deformed fish. Go get your money back or buy a new one. All the baby fish will probably be like a cyclops or something.

i might want to assert that your yellow one does definite...the pink one, per chance yet no longer too obtrusive yet. I easily have had many frey with my pink platties. I also study that they get pregnant once and stay pregnant for some months. so that they'll bypass down slightly after having a frey and then get higher in a month back for more desirable. did you comprehend for positive that you've adult males and women? or basically guessing...you may tell through the fins lower than the fish. in the journey that they have got the vast fanned ones like the photos you printed they're woman. in the journey that they have got lengthy, skinny, white searching fin lower than the body its a male.

These fish will not eat each other if you eat them first.
