as of yet have no manage to keep any fry......

Agree with Nikki, your doing something to stress the female. *Don't*
put her into one of those breeding nets/traps. A 5 or 10 gal. tank with
quite a bit of java moss, would be great.

I've found reference to a 60 day gestation, but how long does it take a livebearer in general........

Ameca Splendens are one of the few fish that will eat BGA and hair
algae, and hardly ever found in pet stores, which makes their offspring
very easy to sell. I would check back and see if you could pick up
another male and another half dozen females... It's been over 30 years
sence I was breeding them, and I sure don't remember a 60 day
gestation! Like any other platty, their gustation time is 28 days. The
fry are slightly larger than common platties, droping 6 to 8 fry each
batch................. Frank
