Hello, 3 month newbie. I think my platy gave birth (she is very slim now)although I do not see any fry other than one weird pink thing/wriggly that last week swam up from the gravel and back down and hid again. I assume she gave birth and all were eaten, but I have noticed these weird little almost microscopic "floaties" in my tank now. I can see them swimming against the current and changing directions so I know they are not just debris, and my cherry barbs go crazy snatching them up. What are they, some sort of parasite? Where did they come from?

Thanks.
 
I am no expert (if you want expert opinion you should have posted this in the breeding section) but I think those are actually fry. At least the pink one. You should take them out and put them in a separate tank if you want to save them.
