Default stillborn fry?

I know that sometimes livebearing mothers hold the babies past term to the
points that the babies & even the mothers can die if not released in time.

Evidently that's what happened to my poor little Mickey Mouse platy. When I
fed them before, I noticed a new group of golden colored fry in the Java
moss clump. :-) These are surely from one of the golden females I
purchased last month. The store didn't know the name of them. They can
crossbreed as I don't mind what color fry they have since all are so
colorful. I purchase a few every year or so to prevent excessive
inbreeding.
