Your babies look great! :good:

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 :rolleyes:

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.
