Okay thank you for the information. Good to know.

Thank you so much for the reply and information.

Okay so.... about two weeks ago my Platy had fry and at the time, I had questions on what to do about it. Got tons of advice and all is good still on the two fry I was able to save and they are starting to get a bit of color. However, doing my routine water change last night, I found that...

Out of curiosity, how would you know I have major issues with my tank based on me asking a question on moving my fry or not from the breeder box?

You are right! Found two more last night hanging out right on the outside of the breeder box and glass. Got one in the box but other was too quick. Hope to get it tonight. I have a lot of hiding places (plants, caves and a ship) so maybe I won't know exactly how many I have until I have a ton...

I actually read it somewhere on line. I had live plants already in the tank but my fancy tail gold fish likes to pull them out and find them floating around so I decided to leave them floating. My Platy actually gave birth Friday night because Saturday morning I came down and she wasn't as...

So, 3 weeks ago, noticed by female was getting big and since bigger. Male won't leave her side and chases other Molly away. I looked for all the signs she is pregnant since this is my first time having a pregnant fish and hope I'm right, but see she has a black spot area towards the back where...
