These are the babies
Hey man, great post!
I've had my 25g for a while. My sister has like an 3g I think? Anyway, she had an Platy and an Molly in there, and guess what? Babies! Platy gave birth during water change (she was in an bucket, didn't know she was pregnant). So I put the Platy and Molly in my tank, and left the fry in my sisters tank. There was about 40 of them. That was a few months ago! 2 of them got big real quickly, so they are in my tank now (mother and father died along the way) Now there are about 8 of them left in my sister's tank, but they aren't growing too well. Hopefully they will survive.

The first few days I put some flakes in an plastic bag and crushed it into powder. After that I've just crushed the flakes up real good in my hand. Has your platy popped yet??
Well sad news I can home and after losing all of my adults the babies are gone now too. Haven't figured out what happened but I'm working on it.
No they died it the breeder box...
That's cool. Have you ever thought of trying out Hikari first bites? I'm no expert, but from what I've read they seem to be a pretty popular choice to ensure proper fry development. Not saying what you're doing is wrong or bad though lol. And nah man, she hasnt dropped yet. Haha the more days that pass, the more anxious I get though
No I havn't tried that. Thanks for the suggestion! My lfs ain't to great though. I think I'm just going to care for them more properly. Feed them at least twice a day and so on, rather than leaving them for my little sister haha. Be sure to post some pics when you get your fry! It's a real cool thing to see when the fry pop out, and they just keep coming! I'll try to get some pics uploaded asap
And I hope so, now that I've had more time to prepare. Haha the way I see it is, the more fry there are, the better the chances I'll end up with some that look like her
