So we've been expecting our platty to birth any time and last night we saw the 1st fry, and we'll we've sparated the 2 from the rest of the tank, but a whole next day has gone by and no other drops or even other fry swimming around. Should we put her back in the tank or keep eating for more.

I would just leave her for a day or 2 . She probably stopped cause you moved and stressed her . Give her a bit to relax . If no more fry , put her back in main tank and just leave her . I just let mine birth in their tanks and the strongest,smartest of the fry make it through to adulthood . That way I am not up to my ears with fish....lol
 
leave the lights off in the tank, keep the room darkish, for a day or two to get her to relax. if she doesn't let go of any more by then let her back into the tank. some females are finicky and HATE being in those tiny boxes.
