Sun, July 16, 2006 - 12:01 PMPlaties! Platies breed like crazy.
When I had a platy (I didn't have a Mickey Mouse platy, but a different, similar kind) that got pregnant, I bought a breeder box for her. They're usually available at any pet store -- just a frame with some mesh on it to keep the fishies in and the fish eaters out. The breeder box hangs on the inside of your current tank.
I put the female in the breeder box and kept an eye on her to see when the babies came out. When the babies were born I then transferred them into another tank. If your breeder box is big enough you can just keep the babies in there until they are big enough to hang out with the rest of them.
Hope some of that helped. -

Wed, August 2, 2006 - 5:02 AMDo you know why she is a "mickey mouse" platy?
If you turn your head sideways you can see mickey mouse's ears and head. The better the shape, the better quality of fish. It's a very old variaty of platy/
She may feel comfortable where she is hiding but when her babies arrive whey will be eaten. Heed the warning and put her in a breeder box in advance of her delivery. de :~)
