Omg! Awesome Luck!

Don't worry about losing a few along the way.
I recently had 9 Platy Fry in a 10 gallon tank by themselves
feeding 4 times a day with a 40% water change every other day.
Over a 10 week period I lost 5 of them for one reason or another,
leaving just 4 surviving.
Thats an attrition rate of over 50% in a tank with no predators !!
 
oh about that hormone thing..i bought 3 females at one time all different sizes but all very pregnant....as soon as one gave birth the other one gave birth then the other lol one wasnt ready and gave birth to all eggs so idk about that lol
 
The fry in that second picture look far more like full term fry so they were probably only hurried by a day or two by the stress. Those 7 you were left with should now go on with no more losses, as long as they are well fed and get plenty of nice water changes to keep the water quality good. You may be surprised at just how tough a fry can be once it gets past that first little time where it was premature.
 
yea they appear to be coming along nicely and appear to be developing quite nicely . i will take some new pics 2mrrw as the lights are off in the tank 4 the night
