My sunset platy gave birth last night.....YIPPEE!!....I have been waiting for her fry for ages....I only managed to catch 3 from the breeding net (a few escaped between me discovering them and me catching them).....one of them I allready now the father.....it has a tail suspiciously like my male red twinbar The other possible fathers are a white platy and a yellow/white twinbar platy.

So now I have 3 newborn platy fry,2 2-week old swordy fry and 3 5-week old guppy fry.....AKKK!! Babies everywhere....

SOOOO cute though

Congrats Angry

i just became the proud fish keeper of over 50 Swordtail fry They are just the cutest things

U didn;t try to catch the escapees? Did they get eaten ?

Well anyway, good luck with all ur fry!

Erm,I came home this afternoon to no platy fry in the enclosure I had put the three in
It appears they were too small and could squeeze out. I did manage to save one which had become trapped between the breeding trap and the tank glass....not the one with the black on it unfortunately. I have a lot of plants in the tank so hopefully the others are smart enough to hide till they are big enough not to be eaten.The lone baby is in a net-type trap in the 30gal. He/she looks lonely on its own so I might move some of the swordy fry over with it.

Soo sad they escaped

So happy I rescued one

 

[afireinside]

oh, so sad. but at least u caught one. right? one is better than none.

owwww what a shame well at least u caught 1 and u never no in a couple of months time u might see 2 new fish swimming around the tank.
hope u have fun raising the little fellow

Good luck with your remaining fry im sure though if you have mixed gender group of platys though you'll be sure to get some more in a months time

 

[Polardbear]

Yeah! I hope your swordies were watching the platy and learning what they are supposed to do!

I just moved the 2 swordy fry into the breeding net with the sole 2-day old platy fry....

LMAO.....the newest baby is chasing the swordy babies. He/she certainly looks happier with buddies in there

SOOOO cute
