Im Pissed

[Rex740]

I dont have any of that stuff!!!

 

[modaz]

look around and see what youve got thats plastic and will float, even if you have to empty it and clean it out before you use it

 

[Rex740]

I found tall bowls that i use for adding water in my tank. There made of plastic and have lids. Those are tupaware right?

 

[modaz]

yep they will do the trick, just float one without the lid on and hopefully by tomorrow you will have new fry and all is well

 

[Rex740]

I have to float it on the water? Like when u put new fish in your tank while they are in their bag?

 

[modaz]

yep as simple as that, theres so many good easy ways that work well as a temp measure.

good luck and let me know what happens over night, remember to turn the lights off and try not to disturb her when she in the breeder

 

[Rex740]

2 things. I cant put lid on container so can they escape? and i dont have any plants or anything i can put in with the babies.

 

[modaz]

they wont escape, platy fry dont jump, if you want to feel safe then place the lid on so it is loose, there must be an oxygen flow direct on the water surface, dont worry about no plants its not compulsory

 

[Rex740]

Well thank so much. I will give youa full report tommorow. This is my first time doing this. So this will be my first batch and those two fry are my first fry ever.

WAIT.... my otehr platy pooped with a white thing at the end, what is this?

 

[modaz]

if its poop its poop, platy pass what looks like a tiny string of sausages before dropping fry, so i would say its just poop

 

[Rex740]

nooooo this is my OTHER platy. Is she about to give birth too since there is a white thing at the end?

The white thing makes her poop float up while shes pooing.

nooooo this is my OTHER platy. Is she about to give birth too since there is a white thing at the end?

if the colour goes from white to brown then its 100% poop, if its completely white then WILDER is the best person to ask for the reason why, when i said that the opening is white i didnt mean that white stuff will come out, its the area of the opening that is white only

 

[Rex740]

ok its poop...

 

[modaz]

ok its poop...

 

[Rex740]

The platy that were talking bout originally that im putting in breeder box, is pooping a lot. Is this natural?
