did u ever move the fry out? or did the survive in the tank on their own

[sakumong]

@MInibarJG I leave them in there, I don't have the space for fry tanks etc.

[MInibarJG]

@sakumong how many did they hav? how many survives?

[sakumong]

@MInibarJG maybe 15-20 each time and about 2-3 survives. depends on how much hiding space there is and what other fish are in the tank. They are always having babies so I don't really bother separating them. i have 7 fry in my tank at the moment from 3 batches 3-8 weeks old :)

Hey can you tell me weather i should try breeding cories in shoals or pairs... i have heard both ways and i was wondering which would be easier.

[sakumong]

I think they breed better in a shoal, unfortunately my only panda cory baby never made it :( and they have not bred since

@waker245 mine always grow slowly i wouldn't worry. The only thing to look out for is if one is growing allot slower than the rest, i had that problem so separated it off at feeding times as it was being bullied out the way how he is fine and nearly big enough to put in my community tank

[MissKEwer]

oh wow its really unusual to have fry survive in a community tank, i always have to separate mine. I have some new babies born on the 23rd of Jan :) they are doing well but have their own tank. Have a great video of them being born on my channel was really lucky to see it let alone capture it on film, as all my other have been born over night. Love the colouring of your Platys, what type are they? I have loads of different types and only know the type of one which is my sunset Platy.

My platy gave birth about 2 weeks ago and they aren't that big. Is that a bad thing ?
