My blue platy is having babies right now. So far their is around 16. She was’t even big!!! Her gravid spot is still huge though. Roughly how many more should she have? I know how to care for them this is NOT my first time so please don’t post anything on how to care for them.

I have 8 adult blue rainbow platys in my tank and so far two of them had babies. They don’t even try to eat them and swim right by them without messing with them. The babies are starting to go up for food and they still don’t try to eat them. Is this normal?
I was told to separate them but they babies been in the tank for 3-4 weeks now and they are all still there.

About 4 months ago my rainbow blue platys had babies. All but one turned into it’s full color it’s white with black fins and a black tail. Shouldn’t it have it’s full color by now?
They are in a 29 gallon tank.
Water conditions:
PH: 7.6
Ammonia: 0ppm
Nitrite: 0ppm
Nitrate: 10ppm
I have two AquaClear 50 Filters running on it. Along with a 150 Watt Visi-Therm Stealth Heater & a Whisper 40 gal air pump.

Why are blue rainbow platys so hard to find? I live in Northern California if that helps any.
