Runt Platy Fry

[rofiudafo]

i have 6 platy fry. 5 of which have grown large enough to be put into the larger tank with my 2 adult platies. whereas there is 1 thats not growing as fast. a runt you could say. he's still in the little fry net. could it be cuz the others were eating more food than this one? or could there possibly something wrong with it? im feeding them crushed flakes, and sometimes blood worms. is there anything else i could do?

what could i feed it to help it grow?

Poor growth is usually associated with poor water conditions and inadequate space to grow.
Platys need plenty of vegetable matter so make sure to include that. Do more water changes ee if that helps.

I got a runt of a fish aswell, a severum, bought 2, one grew like a week the other didnt, even though they have same water, same food(I watched what they were getting) and basically same enviornment. I still like it though .
