Hiii ,

I'm sure some ppl might have the same experience with me. Buying liverbearers to clean up or act as "test rats" to test the condition of new setup aquarium. Last Wed. I went to a fish shop to pick up 2 mollies, but later my girlfriend ask me to buy the cute platies. Of coz, she love to see their big bellies which is so shiny. I said OK...(but I realise tat I will have to expect for worst nite mare...unplanned birth in my aquarium). Last Saturday, one of the platies gave birth and I saw wit my own eyes the live babies coming out from the a** for one hour. In the end, they are more than 30 new fries. I hav to force myself to save 17 out of the total. The rest end up in the mollies and other platies. I am expecting the other 2 platies to give birth soon bcoz their belies look like no space to expand anymore. The molly just gave birth just now, with babies bigger than the platies. But I didn't save them. Coz not at home.

My advise to ppl out there. If got no time, or no intention to keep baby fries Buy the male one only. Anyway in my case, the baby platies are healthy while I just recorded tat only two baby mollies left inside aquarium. Throughout the incident, I never blame my gf for requesting the platties, even though now i hav to keep a bunch of "anak luar n****".

Hi, so in total you have 19 fry, is that true??? some ppl would say 2 let the fry loose in the tank and let the fish eat them, but i think thats cruel, you could give them back to the pet shop that you got them from, give them to a friend, or keep them.
