Hey there...

I have 6 platies, only had them 2 weeks and already we have babies :D ... I have managed to catch 4 of them but the rest are doing a great job of playing hide n seek.
How long should I keep the babies in the fry net???
Also I think another one is pregnant!!! but not entirley sure, her belly looks bigger and has a slight shadow...any other tips?
 
The platy fry can be put with the adults when the mouth of the largest adult fish is smaller than the smallest fry. It can be hard to tell but for safety it is best to keep them separate till it is obvious that they cannot be eaten (based on their size).

Good luck with the new babies. I love platy fry :wub:
