I currently have a 10 gallon tank with swordy and platy fry. How many can be in there without overcrowding?
 
Is it just for the fry while they grow to a certain size, if so quite alot if you have a good filter, say 25.
 
Yes, once they are big enough I put them in with the bigger fish... I tend to keep adding fry into the tank and dont want to overcrowd them.
 
I find it hard to count the amount i put in with females giving birth all the time but i can tell just by looking. I also remove bigger fry weekly and add fry weekly so it's always balanced. On average i have about 25-30 fry(with 3 pygmy cories) in my 10 g.
 
i must be the luckiest person here! my guppy only gave me 2 fry... I hve them 2 in a ten g. My other mom is about to pop tho, so we'll see how many she pops out! :)
