Found Fry

[stiffler69]

Set up a breeding tank not so long back and purchased a new platy what looked heavily pregnant so i put her straight into the birthing tank and left her there for a few days and decided to put her back into the community tank so i done so this was about a week or so ago and today she seemed to be acting strange again so i poped her back into the birthing tank and yet again nothing came of it, but this time i notice some comotion in the stones at the bottom of the tank and there was fry scattered everywhere in the stones these must of been from the first time i put her in and didnt realise she had given birth. So ive neglected them for over a week but they all seem well now been out and purchsed liquifry and luckily i was adding flakes to the tank daily to keep the cycle going, so ive ended up with a good few fry in the tank. I have managed to count 6 different ones upto now but i think there is alot more as ive seen different colours flying around in there, didnt realise they would be so hard to see

Managed to rescue 5 from the community tank last night and get them into the seperate tank and all are doing well i recon there could be over 15 but cant confirm this until they get older and a bit more cofident and come out into the open for some food
