Just leave it as it is, try not net them up as it may harm them during the process.
Hi everyone,
After doing a water change, I noticed 3 or 4 frys! They look like tadpoles with tails and eyes and swimming slowly. Can anyone advice what should I do or do nothing? I guess it should by platys, cos they are live bearers?
Should I segregate them or...?
BTW, I have a 2ft low-maint (no Co2, 1.5wpg) medium planted tank with 4 Zebra Dainos, 5 Platys (1 male 4 females), 6 W.C.M. minnows and 2 otos. As it is really a low-maint tank, I dun test any water parameters, just change water and dose some liquid fert and Flourish Excel.Thanks for any advice!

The other fishes seem peaceful enough. I'd leave them alone, Maybe just crush some flakes or pellets into powder for them when you feed the other fish.
I also have baby platy fish in my tank, just left as it is. Now grown to around 1cm+ in size already.

just let nature take it course. leave them in the tank and see them grow, imo having fries in a community tank is soooooooo nature-like. the chances of them growing up in isolation is very low and often neglected.
I do have a few platys frys in my tank, just leave them around as they will grow pretty fast. They are very hardyas well.
No harm done.

Hi
It is ok to leave them alone for now.
Like me, i leave them alone until they become more and more. In fact, they multiply fast. The female platies alway have a big round tummy ready for the next patch and the male platies alway seem full of energy.
From 5 platies to over 30platies, you start wondering if your bioload is too high.
Hence, i try to catch them and throw them into my dad's small pond outside.
thks.
