It didn't happen. Something obviously led you to believe that it did, but I assure you, a fathead minnow has not produced offspring with a platy in your tank.

They don't even produce in a similar fashion. Platys practice internal fertilization, while fatheads are egg-layers. A female fathead cannot be internally fertilized, and a male tuffy does not have the necessary structure to inseminate a platy. This is just the simple matter of logistics, ignoring entirely how distantly these two fishes are 'related' to one another.
