My three fry that were born in my thirty-five gallon tank are getting bigger. They say strength in numbers and even though there are only three they are getting bigger and stronger every day. They come up to the surface to eat with the much bigger fish that happen to be mom and dad.
I have been making sure to break up the food so that they got enough to eat with as little waste as possible. While I had been feeding them in this way, I happened to notice some movement coming from one of the plants.
Sure enough, we have two more babies.I know this is nothing when it comes to Fry(three hundred is a lot)but never the less five is exciting for me.
They are so cute.

When I bought my fish at the fish store they had said that Platy's wont' mind other species of the same kind of fish. For instance a Ocean Dusk Platy can mate with a regular Platy.
Considering the five babies I would have to agree that Platy's aren't that fussy when it comes to picking a Platy mate.
I am happy to have gotten five babies. They are really cute. I have been making sure the new babies get enough food too with out over feeding that is. I only give them food for five minutes and then only small amounts at a time.
Plus, just in case I do a water change once a week.
I need to name my babies so if anyone has any ideas I am open to suggestions.
Thanks.
Erika
