	My platy had babies! :)
jakemmy Fingerling Posts: 19 Kudos: 6 Votes: 0 Registered: 13-Mar-2007	So, I'm cleaning the tank, and unfortuantly, I gravel sucked up a fry. It's ok though, after a frantic save and freak out, he's fine. Here's the question - I only found one, so I'm assuming that either the others are hiding or have been eaten. He's currently in a plastic cup, I need to get a nursury tank, right? He's sooo small. 2 little eyes, and he's orangish, and soo tiny. Off to the LFS today, I guess. Any words of advice?

Because of being fed more often make sure you do frequent water changes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

I stuck him in a cup and rushed off to the store and bought an entire 2.5 gal setup for him. I would definitely suggest picking up something for the little fry to live in until it grows up. Here's a picture of my little guy from about 3 weeks ago.(he's the bigger one in that picture) *Attached Image:*

You may have more in there somewhere. In our larger tank we've got some platies and we found a fry. about three days later we found about 5 more hiding behind the filter.
