Here's a picture of a 2 day old fry with a fat little belly and huge eyes.

Thank goodness for this Sera micron I had, the fry didn't like the other powdered food or crushed flakes (mostly spat them, and it left the water smelling bad) but they gobble up this stuff. I hope the BBS start hatching soon!

Hey my new platies and swordtail that I got (that I didn't think were pregneant except for the swordtail) ...they all turned out to be preg...and somebody had 3 fry last night! darkfalz what type of fry is that in your pic?? Right now i'm just feeding them flakes but I hope I can get to the LFS to get something else. OH by the way I'm going on a trip soon for 4days....can the fish go that long without food? I didn't expect to have fry til after I got back! And by the looks of it I might have more fry before I leave!

It's a platy fry. Mine won't even really eat powdered flakes yet, just micron and bbs. I might try flakes first thing in the morning when they are hungry, before they get their bbs.

I'd think 4 days without food would either kill them or leave them very weak. You'll have to find someone to feed them for you, and give them clear instructions so they don't overfeed and pollute the water more than necessary.

Here's a great new photo showing how much they have grown. I'm proud as punch of these little guys!

How old are they in that pic? Ok I figured I'd have to find someone, I don't think that will be a problem though...hope not anyway! I've always wanted fry to survive that came from female fish that I just recently bought from the store ...so that you don't know what to expect the babies will look like and who the father was

Those are 6 days old.

Yes, it's going to be a "lucky dip" as to what I get. I can't wait!

Here is a picture of my hyper little male guppy. I've had him for a couple of months now -- the other male died off quickly, but luckily he has settled into his 5 gallon quite nicely.

I bought three guppies and lost two quickly, both to dropsy. He's fine though. He was with the male platy but the platy was giving him a hard time so he's in his own tank now, waiting on my platy fry to grow so that I can give them all some company. I think with 4 or 5 in a tank its better than with 2, nobody gets constantly harassed.
