I've been into tropical fishkeeping for a little over a year now...had livebearers, amoung others, the entire time...and have never had a successful pregnancy. UNTIL NOW!
My platies, Red (poppa) and Gingey (momma) had babies, and I didn't even know *lol*. I was doing their partial water change today and a tiny tiny fish swam up to the glass and was looking at me. I about peed, and also about dropped the bucket of water I was pouring into the tank *lol*
I've now fished out all that I could see in there (there's 5), and seperated them so they don't get eaten. Gingey still looks loaded, though...so she may pop out a few more over the next couple days!
They are effing CUTE. I haven't had a positive first in fishkeeping in a LONG time. Usually the firsts are all "first time with fish tuberculosis!" or "first time with flexibactor bacteria!"...it's nice to have "first time fish grandma!" instead this time! haha
Here's the babes! There's 5 of them. And they're in a betta cup a little smaller than a margarine tub:
