Thanks for the tinfomarion. Another question I have is, is it posisble
for a female platy to breed without a male in the auqarium? I hae a
female palty that I bought a moth ago and now it's getting bigger and
bigger everyday.

She may just over-bound with ovum, but some livebearers are able to store
male sperm and become pregnant later or many times over with it.
