we have a pair of mickey mouse platies (yellow with red and black, will try to get a pic of them) who have been uh..."busy". Mom's popped out so many within the past few weeks there's at least 40 baby fish. Mom's nowhere to be seen, unless it's dinner time. Didn't see them guard, nor eat them either. Been feeding them regular flakes, so apparently those are ok as well...
