Hi there,
I've been keeping fish for a little over a year now. I've had one male swordtail with two female swordtails and 4 female platys. Until last week we hadn't had any fry that I know of. One of my platys gave birth before I could move her to the breeding tank so I had assumed that they ended up as food. But, I've spotted two fry this week, so there are some survivors. My questions is, if these little guys make it, what will they be like, i.e. if they are male could they have swordtails, or will they be sterile or aggressive?
Thanks for any insight!
