Aquarium Advice Newbie
Yesterday, I bought four platys and put them in a 5 gallon tank. Today, coming home from school I noticed that one of my females (Lass) was hiding in the cave I have provided. Moments later, I saw a fry pop out of the cave. Not what I expected at all! So now, it seems, I have gotten babies for the price of just mom. Mom is still in the cave with one of the males (Sunny) while another male (Sage) swims on top, and the other female (Sage) hides in the plants.
There is also a baby rubber-lip pleco (Oz) hanging out to the side of the cave.
Now, as I said, I JUST bought these fist LAST NIGHT. I did not expect babies (not this soon anyway) and I have no idea what I should do.
Should I be worried about the males in the tank or the other female? Will they eat the frys? Will this affect my pleco? Should I get a bigger thank now or wait a little to see if the fry survive? And more importantly WILL the fry survive?
Thanks for listening,
Jessica
