Awww cute I love platys :) mine had her fry yesterday morning so they share the same birthday. I only have 2 girls to avoid lots of babies this time and my mickey mouse platy has had fry three times already. I wonder when she's going to run outa that baby makin stuff lol
 
Thank you!! They are adorable. I did give them a little bit of crushed up flakes but I dont know if they fully ate it.

I also have two females and I think my other one is about to give birth soon too... so many babies!!

I think my other ones about to pop too haha. Did you leave them in the main tank or move them? I just leave mine in the main tank and hope some make it each time. I didn't think any made it with my last lot then one day I saw one baby then 3 when they were big and brave enough to swim around in the open I call them the 'three musketeers' they are always together hehe. They are still only about 1cm, orange and cute I love them. I can't wait to see how many survive with the latest batch born little newborns so white n squishy haha. I'm going to need a bigger tank then I planned on upgrading to I don't want to part with any of the babies their part of the family now ,as my partner says were just extending our family :)

I moved the female that just gave birth and so those babies (11 of them) are in the breeder box. | don't know what I'm going to do about my next batch yet. I hope she waits one week so I can put her in the breeder box but I don't know if she wants to wait that long haha
