Ok so last night a bought new fish. Now in my tank i have four guppy's to male two female. One male molly, and a female platy. My two females are pregnant at lest i know one is for sure. I wake up this morning and observe my tank and i notice in the plants there is one baby fish. So i looked around and notice the only fish in the bottom corner was the platy. The guppy's that i assume are pregnant look the same and were at the top. So i separated the platy, and shes in there going up and down the sides, shes has also pooped 3 times since ive looked. Will she deliver more?
 
CONGRATULATIONS! Yes she is most likely going to deliver more ( 7-10) platys just like mollies are livebeares and give birth to large amounts of fry. Good luck. Make sure to take the mother out after she has delivered the whole batch because she may start to eat the young. Feeding the fry is easy. Powdered flakes of "First Bites" ( special food for baby fish found at most pet stores works best) you also have the option of giving them a liquid food also sold at pet stores. Hope this helps.
