Hi all, today i made an exciting discovery when i looked into my 45 gallin aquarium and found 3 baby fry. Immediately knew that they were the young of my red wag platy's, for they are the only paired fish i have in the tank.
I have never seen successful hatching or laying of eggs for that matter in my tank.
I have never raised fish before I admit but I am not super excited in seeing if I can mature these young fish. What I have done is created a small, in-tank nursery, which is filled with tank water, and is suspended in the tank to maintainn temperature. I added some minor gravel and a small plant for I have noticed the 3 fry enjoy hiding and clinging to plants for protection. I did this because I have a few angel fish who I am certain would more than enjoy eating the babies.
So my question is what should i change about my set up if it needs to be changed at all, and how do I feed and keep the babies healthy,
Thanks, im stoked to see if i can help them live! *putting them back in the main tank scares me for there are too many fish that i fear would ea them*
