Fry The Size Of A Grain Of Rice

[jennakid]

omg. are you serious.
i have 4 platy fry now.
and the mother platy.. ages ago. was pregnant i thought.
and then i put her in the bottom tank. (that i had setup for baby fish and stuff)
and i didn't notice she had any.. so i put her back into the normal tank.
and for about two weeks after. i noticed 4 baby fry. i didnt know where they came from. i also didnt know whether they were guppies or plattys. and they were platys. and that means they didn't get fed for about two weeks!
and also.. it made sense because the platys stomic went back to normal.
lmao. so anyway. they didnt get fed for about two weeks.
so i fed them crushed up tropical flakes.. straight away.
and there in a tank.. not with the others up the top..
but pretty much they have the tank to there selfs. because theres only 2 breeding traps sitting in there with about 30 baby guppy fry in it. and theres the other breeding trap in it with 1 pregnant female guppy.
so they have quite alot of room.
and they have grown alot.. and none of them have died since. they are about a fingernail size now. or half a fingernail size for people with longer nails.
and i think there going fine.
i don't know whats wrong with yours though.
ooh. i feed mine once a day.
and there fine.
sorry. i cant help.
xox

Hiya.

I have platy fry.

I started off on crushed up normal food as ws told not to waste my money on baby food.

But the were very slow in growing so i went and got some Liquifry 3 baby plus

They are doing so much better sonce changing to this.

I wish i had used it from the start and as for wasting money it was only £2.50 for 50G

Mine are two months old and i`d say just inder hald the size of the adults.

wow! ty for responding with that. i didn't get a chance to go to the shop but i know they do have brime shrimp and liquid fry food. i will see which i can afford.
i started to feed them 3 times a day instead of only twice.. flake food.

The powder one i got was only £2.50 and looks like it`ll last years lol

All i do is wet a cocktail stick in the tank water and dip the end in the food and swish it in the water, otherwise you end up with way to much in there.

Hope they start growing better.

I found 3 more babies in my tank today
