Soon he will be breeding himself . Do you have enough hiding places for any new fry (and is food falling into them as well)? My platy babies spend the first weeks of their lives hiding in some very dense and tall Pygmy Chain Sword. Only then are they coming out and make me wonder what I should do with all these fish . Keep us posted on the next set of fry. Ingo Proud Member of the New Jersey Aquatic Gardeners Club

I feed my adults 3 times a day when fry are expected to make sure they are not hungry, and I dont think any of mine are munched on. They have frozen daphnia for one meal a day, usually at night so they are well full at bedtime. Though I think you do get some lines/individuals that eat fry and some that dont.
