platy fry

[Leehunter]

Hi guys ive had one lot of fry from one platy, i didnt think she was due till i started to vac tje gravel, and managed to locate 15 fry.

Now i have another platy that i think is about to pop. However i want to keep her fry ans she is a dep blue long fin platy.

When do you think she is due?



















Sorry she is hard to catch lol

It looks like she could pop any day now. Good luck!

Thought as much. Shes not really hiding or sitting around in tank and is mooching around just as much as she always has. When do you think i should drop her into a breeder??

The randy male is now chasing one of my micky mouse platys now. And hes smaller than them all

Lol

Haha , i would just let her birth in the tank, then net out as many as you can . Depending on tank size it can be easy or hard. If you wanted to you could put her into a breeder but only for a day or so. And never more than three days. If you can i would add some plants to the breeder for the fry to hide in.

I have for my existing fry from my other parent. Im feeding them crushed flakes and blodworms







Found 6 whilst vacuuming, managed to capture her and she popped out another 9 no further gravid spot after about 8 hours so i let her out if the breeder.
