Platy Babies!

Wow, here we go again. First of all I decided that after over four weeks in QT if my platy was preggers she was going to have dropped the fry by now so I decided to move them both over to the main tank. I did, everything went fine. They settled in rather quickly and got into the swing of things.


I headed to the fish store to pick up some more fish. Unfortunately they were out of panda cories. Only when I'm looking to buy them of course. So I picked up some neons instead. I acclimated them and put them in the QT tank. Then I noticed something, lots of somethings. Little orange somethings. My platy had been pregnant and she had a LOT of fry. At least 15 that have made it to a good size. I'm not sure how it's going to turn out but at this point they're too large for the neons to eat. In four weeks I'll move the neons over. I'm waiting until I can sex the platies so I can only move females to the main tank.
