So I have a bijillion guppy fry in my tank and today spotted 1 orange platy fry. Do you think that there was only 1 or the rest were snacks. The platies have been in the tank for about 2 months now and this is the first fry I have seen. I thought they had lots at one time. I have a lot of bushy plants that the guppy fry hide in and there are 3 batches of them.

There were probably a lot more, but the reason only one survived is probably because they're orange, and thus will have a lot harder time hiding than the dull coloured guppy fry.

That makes so much sense because they are really orange, almost neon compared to the guppy fry. Today I saw another one so now there are 2 and they are adorable.

Thanks much
