ps
Keep in mind, once they are resized, the new file may go to another place on your computer. Mine go to the download file and the new file name begins with rsz (when using the above link).

Hello Polojoanne,

It's my understanding that any fish will eat fry, including the parents. They would have to be separated to insure survival. A breeder box would be best if you want to keep them all. Liverbearers give birth about every 20 to 48 days (usually in the 20's from what I've read). However, with lots of plants, java moss, hiding spots you may still have some survivors if you decide not to separate them.

I moved your thread to the Livebearers/Platy section of the forum.
Thanks!
