platy fry

[blue_fish]

i have 30 frys swimming around the tank.. its actually a half gallon one... i have a very powerful air pump.. they might be blown away by it. can i just take it out so it would live peacefully?





lastly, wierd question but....

can they(5fry) live inside a plastic bottle for 12hours?

oww yeah the fry should be alright without the air pump but if u hav a lid on the top of the tank i would leav it half open so they definatly have enough air

i don't think that is normal at all...my one month guppy fry are at least 5x bigger than the day old fry born the other day..

EDIT: and after reading another post of yours about water temperature i could almost guarantee that they are small due to the cold water you are raising them in....a heater isn't that expensive....

i no i'm getting some money on friday and i'm going to buy them a tank a light and a heater how much are they its not a big tank i'm getting just a £10.99 one with a blue lid .anyway the reason why they are bigger than my one month old fry r smaller than the 2 day old ones is becaue the mum had tail rot and rushed her birth and 2 days after she had had her fry she died

i didnt no it affected there size ) anywat it doesnt matter now i no and i'm doing something about it and we all make mistakes they are my first fry ever that i hav been rasing myself normally my sister does it.
