My bumblebee platy gave birth about a week ago. I was unprepared and had no way to save the fry at first. I finally got a breeder net to use for the time being and saved 2 of the fry that were still around. They've been in the net now for 2 days. They don't seem all that active and I'm not sure if they are eating or not. I've given them finely ground up flake food and shrimp pellets at different times over the last few days. They never eat it while I'm watching and there is always some left over hours later. I'm assuming they must be eating or else they'd be dead by now. I was expecting that they'd eagerly eat like adult platy but they show no interest in the food when I drop it in. Is this normal?
