I thought fish gave birth at night but here I am watching my platy birth her second batch in broad daylight - straight into the hungry mouths of her tank mates. This is both good and bad. Population control - my tank is slightly overstocked as is, but part of me hopes there are a few survivors. We have 6 older fry from her first batch so here's hoping!
