Sunset Platy Fry - Aquarium Advice

KaiserFish · 03-03-2005, 02:30 AM

Well, my platys have been busy, looks like all my females are preggers and getting ready to burst with fry. Saw a few fry in the tank last night, but by the time I noticed them, the Angels were having a snack.

I have a small floating breeding chamber, that I'm going to try to catch what fry I can and put them in it. What is good fry food for platy fry?

First bites liquid food bud .. you can get it at most stores ... or you could really finely grind flake food using a mortal and pestile or a coffee grinder. (no you can't use mine! HAHAH

) but those would be your best bets

I use "Nutrafin basix staple food for fry" for my platy babies. it stinks though.
