Your babies look great!

How many fry are in the tank?
Did you move the mother in the fry tank before she gave birth?

I hope to have baby platies one day

there are 92 fry in 1 60l tank. tis my bday tomorrow and im getting a bigger tank for fry then but until tomorrow they are fine in this one.

no i dont move the mums. i dont like to move them at all for safety sake however if it is needed it can be done. i leave them in their own tank with heaps of plants for the babies to hide in then once i find them i move them out into the fry tank. a lot of people make a big fuss about breeding nets etc but i find these unneccesary unless you have your livebearers in a tank with other types of fish that wil prey on the fry no matter where they are. i have 9 girls in my livebearer tank and i have had excellent numbers of fry coming through per birthing so im completely happy with this set up youll also find if your fish are well fed each nightr before you go to bed theyll be less likely to feast on the fry anyway

Very nicepics. The babies are gr8 i love the sliver baby one it looks gr8. Congratulation. But yes if u have 92 fries in a 60l i recommend to upgrade ur tank soon. But the fish and tank are gr8.
