New fish keeper here and this video helped us a lot! I screamed when I saw the adult platy eat the fry and I was like "run baby! Run!" Now we know what to do.

I had a a nitrate spike a last week and now I'm dealing with some Ich... so I did a deep clean yesterday and discovered some platy fry while doing so. It gave me a glimmer of hope that if new life can prosper, maybe everyone will survive this treatment. I had to move my Glass Catfish and Peppered Cories into a seperate tank because they're scaleless and may take the treatment harshly.

My platy gave birth while I was asleep, but only one fry survived. I have it in the breeders box. It's 5 days old now! So cute to watch it grow up!

@undersurfacechannel 3 года назад

@Been Dead that is amazing! 😊 Good luck growing it up and hopefully you’ll be able to save more from next drops 😊

@NEnigma777 19 дней назад

My first batch was the same, now one of my Mickey Mouse platies is giving birth so much that I’m stuck with like 50 fry😩

@BeenDead 18 дней назад

@@NEnigma777 hahah after the first batch barely survived I got some plants for my tank and BOOM, I was bringing bags of fry to petco since I couldn't keep up lol! Miss my tank so much, had to move to a place that doesn't allow fish (or any pets for that matter).

2 months ago I setup a 20gal Platy breeding tank. I now have more than 100 fry! And more arriving everyday. At the first sign of a fry, I turned the lights out in the tank and only turned them on briefly when food was in the tank for the adult platys. After a week I was able to leave the lights on. The adults don't consider them food. I saw one engulf a fry and quickly spit it out, uninjured. Omega One Flakes are good. Also O-Nip. The small particles go all over the tank and everyone gets food.

@undersurfacechannel 3 года назад

@Raving Cyclist great job :) interesting way of keeping fry alive... soon you will have plenty of Platies :)

I had a recent Ammonia spike in my 29 Gal community tank and added API zoelite media bag to drop it and on that same day in the afternoon I noticed my largest Female red wag platty had a plump and square belly and was moving funny. I placed her in a mesh breeder box inside the community tank with some hornwort and in 8 hrs she birthed 11 babies. She's now back in the community tank and doing fine and so are the fry in the mesh box. Thank you for this video. I really have no idea what I'm doing and I'm throwing myself into the wind so I appreciate the video alot.

@undersurfacechannel 5 лет назад

I’m really glad it helped you. Congrats with your fry... 😊

@johnny_pilot 2 года назад

Hmmm... I may have to start trying to separate the fry then from the adults... as I have just witnessed a new-born become a tasty snack for an opportunistic and swift female! Thanks for this useful video.

@ravingcyclist624 3 года назад

Question: Have you noticed that fry being delivered by a female get larger in size the more fry she delivers? The first fry are very tiny. Subsequent fry get larger and larger. It's as if they are maturing inside the female. Have you noticed this yourself?

@undersurfacechannel 3 года назад

@Raving Cyclist yes to some extent. Usually it is rather the amount of fry than an actual size :) at the beginning females have smaller amount of fry and as they grow older, the amount of fry in my drops always increases :) Have not really been focusing on the actual size of fry so cannot really relate to that :) But interesting thought...

@magicdragicfilms 4 месяца назад

Yes, it's quite crazy. The first flight of fries consisted of 9 and only 1 survived - which being at 11 weeks old is still fairly tiny. The second birthday round - same mother fish - came in at 32, with 6 dying from onset, but 26 alive and well. And some really are already a bit bigger. Half the size of the older sibling. Quite astonishing.

@salvolondon 4 года назад

Wow your fry grow very fast . I need to try the egg yolk too . I hope mine will grow as fast as yours .

@undersurfacechannel 4 года назад

It definitely will 😊 micro worms or live brine shrimp works amazing as well 😊👌🏻

@madisonstegar2666 2 года назад

Think my Mickey Mouse platy laid eggs before she passed away and today my nephew pointed out he sees baby fishes and I was confused and showed them to me and I was in shocked. I quickly got them all out and counted 12, I put them in a bowl and ordered a separate tank for them and those breeder net so it can be easier for me to feed them

@undersurfacechannel 2 года назад

@Madison Stegar good luck growing them up :)

@orangescalefishy1258 Год назад

How many times should I clean a one gallon platy fry tank

@undersurfacechannel Год назад

Depends on many factors. What kind of filtration do you have, if you have live plants, what and how much do you feed, how many fish you have in there. So it is very difficult to answer this question 😊

@meganpennings6676 Год назад

I have a 4 week old baby platy and it’s literally the same size as when I got it 2 weeks ago.

@undersurfacechannel Год назад

Sometimes that happend. It may have lack of food if there are more fish in the tank or it may just genetically be smaller and it will not grow as big as other platies 😊

@flybobbie1449 9 месяцев назад

Have 5 babies, looks like they grow about 1mm every 2 weeks.

Thank you I always see all the signs of my platy being pregnant but she never gives birth even though she has all signs

@undersurfacechannel 3 года назад

@Miraculous Ladybug make sure that you have enough hiding spots fro the fry :) they hunt their youngs pretty hard. There is a high possibility that she has fry often, but she or other fish in the tank eat them all before you see them :)

What if you don’t want fry but have like male and female. I dont own any platies but this is a quick question.

@undersurfacechannel 4 года назад

Well, if you don't want fry, you just keep them in the same tank with parents, and they'll eat them. At the end of the day it is a healthy snack for them :D

@J B yea that is possible as well :) I feed mine also 2 times per day, but they usually go after them anyway...

@noshadowskeleton1597 3 года назад

I feed the parents twice a day but originally it didn't help however eventually they realised they were babies and haven't eaten any since the first day they were born. 4 have managed to get to over 1 month old, 8 are 15 days old and 4 are 4 days old.

please help! My platy gave birth and only 8 survived so far they are tiny newborns the filter i have it way too powerful what do i do!?

@undersurfacechannel 2 года назад

Just remove them out of the tank, and try to grow them in smaller aquarium. In case you do not have other tank, use breeding box inside the main tank where you place the newborn fry :)

@hammylover4life225 2 года назад

@vb2377 3 года назад

CAN THEY LIVE WITHOUT HEATERS (68-72)

@undersurfacechannel 3 года назад

@VB 23 that 72 would be quite alright for them and generally around 70 they can accept. They will not grow so quickly, but will have longer lifespan in cooler water :) 68 is a bit cold so try to keep it steadily over 70 and you'll be fine :)

@bojoeeejoh9652 4 года назад

why my platy birth 8 fishes only and 5 of them dead

@undersurfacechannel 4 года назад

Dear Bojoeee, it may be for several factors, if the fish was in the main tank, the rest of the fry could possibly get eaten. Also if the female was young, and it was her first time giving birth, usually first drop is only small number of fry. Also possibly if you have too high male to female ratio, female could be way to stressed and it is negatively influencing the quality of your fry 😊 hard to say from just your comment, I would need more information to give you a correct answer, but hope this helps 😊👌🏻

@bojoeeejoh9652 4 года назад

ohh i see , i didn't remove the fish from tank before i knew it was giving birth, poor fryss

@undersurfacechannel 4 года назад

Bojoeee Torres Yea in that case they most likely got eaten by the parents 😊
