platy and swordtail fry grow EXTREMELY slow. Molly fry grow rapidly. I've had luck slightly overfeeding them. They grow a little faster but don't get sick from it.

It seems that when they tend to be fed like normal fish, some will quit eating and die. Good Luck with the fry!

hmm
i have about 4 plattys
about 2 months old? i think?
lol
and i think they have grown quite quick. got nothing to compare it to though.
and all of mine have their colour already.
3 are white with black tails/fins
and 1 is orange with black tail/fins
i used to feed them once a day.. same as my guppy fry
but now i feed them twice a day since a week ago.
how do you know they have stopped growing?
goodluck
xo
