Huge Platys raised in outdoor pond.

I just netted these guys out to put in my community tank. They are huge! Still trying to catch the Angels in the pond. Those guys are fast!

Dang, those platys look huge. Very nice!

They look like they eat very well :)

yes in the pond they are able to eat all day.

Much easier then having to feed my fish 5+ times a day haha. I guess it is a good thing my Discus and Angels like to eat that much and they surely grow fast but man haha.

Well the pond is right off our back deck so we are always feeding them when we go out there plus whatever they get from in the pond.

Very nice, always happy fish in ponds haha! They look amazing.

Yeah thanks. I knew they were getting big out there but had no idea just how big.

I can honestly say I've never seen platies that big, beautiful too!

Me either. LOL Didn't know Platys could get that big.

I have one that size. It was also grown in a pond. It is crazy how big they can get in a pond.

I am truly amazed! Those are huge.

I put them in the tank and they look like goldfish. LOL

when i was a kid, i used to have these pink and red, platy's called swordtail platy's, and they were huge as well, like about 2 to 3 inches, and one of them, i assume was a female, because she was inflated, in the area of where a fish would have breast's if a fish had breast's, it died without every reproducing, was that fish pregnate, or just fat ?

Hard to tell. She may have just been fat or she may have had a baby stuck in the birth canal.
