20 Gal Platy - Swords Tank Breeding

[IceMan569]

Hello

I have a 20 gal long With Aqua Clear Filter

it has
1 male fancy swordtail and 3 females
2 male platy and 3 females

i know the 1 male platy thought was female it was great looking and big i forgot to check

i have java moss on have bottom half of tank and couple inches high
and have 4 breeding grass floating on top


is that enought hiding stuff for babies so won't get eating

i have a 5 & 1/2 Gal tank EMPTY under the 20 gal but didn't want to add baby fish to different tank
figger water change would kill alot of babies


should i get more plants ?

any tips on breeding would be helpful ?

should i net the babies and add to 5 gal would they be ok ?

That looks pretty good. It doesn't ensure 100% survival rate, but the fry stand a pretty good chance with that kind of cover. It's also up to the fry to stay hidden when in danger too. Some fry I've seen just don't get it and end up snacks. Some boldy swim around and never get touched. Either way, looks like you have some good cover.
