YouTube - Baby Platty

Unfortunately this is the only one that appears to have survived, still unsure whether it's a platy or a swordtail, I also have a small grey coloured baby which appeared 2 weeks later, My fish sure are in the mood!

sometimes i think it's silly how squishy i get over the tiny stomachs with eyes

[Natonstan]

Haha yeah there's something about those large eyes! Luckilly he's been keeping hid in the large plants I have covering the back wall so but he's getting a little too adventurous now, even coming out to the front, but he seems to be getting a little too big now to be taken as food

when i had guppies and platys i had a little baby like that but it got eaten

Roughly how old was the little guy when the vid was made? Ive got multiple exspectant platy mothers and I want to try and catch any offspring before one of the Goldfish spots them and has a spot of lunch.

there's no way you can say if that's a swordtail or platy at that size. For one thing female swords have the same tail shape as platys. Also male swords don't develop the extension until they are older, and some don't even get one at all.
