Two Platy Fry Dissapeared!

Yesterday I had four of my original Platy Fry in the tank but today 2 of them have totally vanished, no bodies nothing. They were far too big to be eaten by the frogs so its a mystery!

Fry grow so quickly

Since the fry were born at 6.30pm yesterday they have doubled in size, amazing they can grow so quickly

I have decided to put half of the fry into the frog tank as a treat for my frogs but also see how many survive!, for the present time will keep the other half in the hatchery.

I now have 46 new babies

I just spent an hour looking in the tank, they were hiding in the gravel, they are soooooooooooooooooooo small and  soooooooooooooooooooo fast.  

They are all yellow.

I think I count 46 of them.

Todays Developments

One of the yellow platy got very big overnight and you could see both sides were really black, i put her in the small tank not sure what to expect. 

 

Anyway did a major water change, did the big tank, then the medium one then finally the small one with the yellow platy in. I never thought of checking the water to see if anything was in it as was not expecting anything.

After i did the water change was sitting looking at my big tank and saw the yellow platy chase something, so had a look and she was chasing a tiny fry, i then counted another 2 of them. Am unsure how many she has had or eaten or me thrown down the toilet due to water change.

They were far too fast to catch and go hiding in the gravel so will look a bit later and see how many more i find but think there is only 3 of them. She was huge so was expecing a huge amount.

Still exciting to see the baby fry, if there was a huge amount would have given them to my frogs as a treat but as 3 i gotta save them. 

 

None of the other 6 adults look pregnant.
