Young Platy

[Dave S]

I've just noticed a new-born Platy in my aquarium - The oldest Platys that I
have in this tank are 3.5 months old. Given the age, is this too young for
Platys to give birth?

TIA - Dave

I'm not sure about the age of the parent platy but my guess would be
yes, they probably can have babies when they are pretty young.
I'd check around the tank really good for more babies. It's always the
same thing for me. Just when I think I've found all the babies, I find
another one or two. I now have four guppy fry and ten platy fry.
