New Fry Advice Please

[MrsHennesy87]

so my platy fry are 3 weeks old today. well my platy had another batch today i dont know if they came from the same platy as last time. well most came out dead but some were live, i had no where else to put them so i put them in with the 3 week old fry. whats there chance of surviving with the 3 week old fry?

They should be just fine with 3 week old fry. They are from a different female, 4 weeks is minimum for a platy female from one drop to the next.

Would my 6 week old platys be big enough to go back into the community tank yet?

+1. i am keeping 6 week old fry in a tank with 2 week old fry. guppy and swordtail mix. hardly any to no cover at all and they are fine. the minimum gap in time i've know one livebearer to give birth twice in is around 35 days. imo i'd go with why risk it, i really do think the fry will be fine together. i once put 8 week old fry back in the main tank and the swordtails were all over them within seconds. i managed to get them all back out in one piece. lucky or what as their well quick. hope this helps.
