Thinking Of Expanding Already!

[JoanneH]

I'm a beginner, but am already thinking bout getting another small tank to put my platy fry in before they're eaten - plus I don't have room for any survivors anyway. Don't have much space at all for another tank - any suggestions please?

10 gals are best for raising fry in.

Thanks, how much should I expect to pay for a 10 gallon set up then?

Not sure, you could try and find a second hand one, in newpapers, online.

Had a quick look, could only manage a 5 gallon space wise - would that be any good or not?

Yes if thats all you can fit, but ten gallons are better as they are far more forgiving with water quality, as you have to feed fry alot so the water soons get polluted.

Will give it some more thought then, thank you. How often would i need to feed the fry?

Ask in livebearers, long time since i had fry, it can be up to several times aday i think.
