Yesterday I bought a pregnant mickeymouse platy...and she was really big. I put her in my QT last night hoping that if she had babies, I could maybe keep some. I put a big plastic plant in so it would float on the top.
This morning when I woke up, I saw a little orange thing on the blue plastic plant. I looked closer to see that it was a baby platy ! I looked around the tank and only found 2 others. Then, 3 hours later, I saw 2 more!
Finally after 45 minutes, i collected 21 babies and put them in a floating box thing. I know this happens all the time to people on here, but for me, this is the first time this has happened and I feel so special LOL. Anyway, I really hope they survive. I found one of them on the bottom of the tank, curled up and it seemed to be shaped kind of weird. Oh well, I am just happy I rescued 21 of them
I really want to try my best to keep these babies alive and to take the best care of them possible. So, since many of you have had experiences like this, maybe you could give me some tips on how to keep them alive.... All i know is that my water has to be good and to feed them crushed flake food 2-3 times a day. Anything else?
thankyou
sorry for putting the pic twice
