Found 2 baby Platy!!! Now what?!?!?

[Copachick]

We discovered two platy babies last night
I've read a little about what I could do for them and feed them...
but anyone have good advice on how to care for them?

They are large at birth, they have no troubles with ground up flake food.

Yeah thats what we did, and they did eat it. They are hiding up in the floating plants that we have which is good so the other fish dont get to them. Hopefully they live!

If you're worried about the other fish getting to them you could invest in a net breeder. They're only about $5 and they'll keep the babies safe while keeping them in the same water and allowing for easy feeding.

Yeah I was thinking about that. I might invest in that. We definitely want them to live they are so cute. And we ONLY found them when we started doing a water change and vacuming the bottom of the tank. They are good hiders and quick little movers
