The first two mama bearers

Yesterday, I purchased the first two female platy livebearers for my colony breeding set up. They are of a plainer color but one bears the mickey mouse ears and the other sports a pretty slick tail highlight. The ladies are very friendly and are happy to pose for the camera as you can see here.

 

The large dark spots near the anal fin are the baby livebearers. I bought pregnant or gravid females in order to speed along the process.
