what do you feed newly born baby platies

[gup gup]

my platie has given birth to 25 baby platies but i dont no wat to feed them i need help

i feed them a liquid food

interpet liquifry No2 (live bearers)

1 drop per gallon 2-4 times a day for 3-4 days

i start feeding them that as soon as they are born

after 3-4 days you can move onto newly hatched brine shrimp or very finaly crushed flake

hope this has helped

Hi there gup gup

If you can't get hold of any liquid fry food then just crush some flakes reeeealy fine. Dont crush the flakes with your hands 'cos the oils /sweat etc on your hands prevents the flakes becoming fine enough for fry.

Good luck with the babies.

i use the lid of my flakes container and crush it with my thumb, hmm but platty fry are bigger than guppy fry arnt they so maybe they need to be crushed extra finely owell my fry are feed up so im not complainin
