littletank Hobbyist Posts: 57 Kudos: 59 Votes: 0 Registered: 25-Jan-2005	hello. i have a platy mommy who's really fat and has been so for a while now. Today i noticed three little black/grey spots in her tummy. they look like baby eyeballs. Could this be what they are? I have heard that you can see the fry in the mom's tummy. Is this true? If so, what to look for? littletank

Keep track of when she has her fry and then you can predict another batch of fry within 28-32 days later. Fair Warning, the fry will be teeny tiny, and dang near invisible! To feed them, take your regular flakes, grind them up real fine and viola, you have fry food...have fun, Heidi "I've got a great ambition to die of exhaustion rather than boredom." Thomas Carlyle

I have a blue dwarf gourami, two platies, and three zebra danios. If i need to, i can put them in a 2.5 gallon "hospital" tank. My apple snail is all that's in there right now. littletank in la HAPPY MARDI GRAS EVERYONE!!!
