Okay, so I bought a female platy who was super pregnant, it turns out, and must have given birth last night because her gravid spot has faded back to normal and she is almost as thin as the males all of a sudden.
so that means...Fry! Loose in the tank with three adult guppies and three adult platys and one bladder snail.
they have lots of places to hide among the rocks at the bottom of my tank and among the wisteria. A 'breeder box' is coming in the post tomorrow or the day after, and I plan on going on a grand fry hunt, to capture them all and put them in this mesh cage in the tank with the adults, but protected.
But...what do they eat? Do they eat the algae in the tank? I feed my adults plenty of food (but not too much) so they are less hungry for baby fish, (which, by the way, I haven't seen) but what do the babies eat?
PS: I can't get ahold of live food.
Help! What do my platy fry eat?!
