PLATY GIVING BIRTH

[Derekshatch]

Mybplaty is giving birth some of those things are rocks but the rest are fry. I put her in the breeder box 10 minutes ago because i knew that she was ready perfect timing. When should i tranfer the fry to a nursery tank because ammonia builds up in the breeder box? Should i wait 2 days until i transfer them.

You'd be safe to transfer them right away if instead of a net you use a paper cup, as the net can damage their itty bitty backs

How would you get them to go into the cup?

What's the count up to now

congratulations on your newborn fry , you could use a straw to pick them up and drop them into a cup or a turkey baster.

[Derekshatch]

20 fry and she is only half done.

Good brood!

I have a trukey baster will it hurt the fry if i sucked them up?

 

[JuiceBox52]

I usually use a net to guide them to the surface and then just scoop them in. It takes patience. I have never used a turkey baster so I dont know for sure
