I have 6 corys and recently got some panda Platys! I have never had either of there fry before so I don't know what they are! They sit at the bottom and don't go to the top!

Cory juveniles never float to the surface. Always below. For Platy it is too long. It looks like goldguppy.
 
When cories are born, they start off as needles. But I've also noticed that the development of cories from a needle to a look-a-like of a cory goes pretty fast.
 
It's definitely a platy fry! Since the platys are usually kept with all kinds of colors, they can produce all kinds of color fry....

Cory fry are much smaller, and you would have probably seen the eggs.
 
Thank yall I just remembered they were in the same tank as bumblebee Platys so that's probably why they are yellow! Is there anything I can do for them I lost 2 I still have 5 I feed them hiraki first bite but they just not moving much

Sometimes they'll start eating after a couple of days. If they're still using their yolk-sac, they won't be eating anything else yet. But eventhough, you might think that there ain't food in the tank, in general there's more nutrition in there than you may know. But don't worry, they'll start eating on their own.
