New Mom Question

Hey gang... TODAY... Im the proud mom of 7 baby mickey mouse platies!
The fry are already eating and they are picking at the brown diatoms in the tank thats on the plants and ornaments.
Is it okay if the fry eat the diatoms? I know my otos love the stuff...

Re: New Mom Question

congrats on the cute little babies i think the diatoms will be fine for them.. probably quite good for their diet. can't wait to see pics of them.

Re: New Mom Question

Congrats! Yep, brown diatom will be fine (in my experience at least). My mollies grew up on them and seem OK!
