I revamped my 10g newborn tank, cleaned it out really well and released my 6-- six week old Platy fry and 22-- two week old Platy fry...
They're so cute and curious swimming all over the tank... TINYYY little things... Although the 6 wk olds have faint black stripes (their twin bars) coming in. Very sweet and fun :)
 
how fun! I am thinking i may have to get me a fry tank as well - my molly keeps having babies and she is going to overstock my tank (she probably already has and that is why I can't get this tank to finish its fish in cycle)!!!

My fry don't last 24 hrs in my tank with 5 mollies & THE BETTA!
It's nice to have the platy fry in their own tank... I feel more organized.. LOL

I moved the Molly fry that were in my fry tank into the 20gL with my 2 adult platies over this last week.
