My boyfriend arrived home last night to find one swimming in the community tank and then his dwarf gourami munched it.
He then found out which platty it was and stuck her in the birthing net.
Mother was having the babies one every 15 minutes and it was getting a bit frustrating as she kept eating them.
At about four this morning he had managed to save 10 babies so he let mother back out and she is fine.
At the moment we have another tank with about 40 two week old guppy fry and thought it would be ok to put the platty fry in the tank with them but after my boyfriend put one of them in the guppies attacked it and killed the poor little thing.
So we have left the others in the birthing net for time being.
