Do Panda Platy Eat Their Fry

[Fish Luver :-*]

ive been told platies eat their fry but my panda platy didnt seem 2 mind them .should i keep them with her? just in case i put the fry in a diferent tank

Yes, seperate tyem. As soon as the female is hungry, the fry will be a snack.

If their well feed it's not a problem, but if you keep the fry away for the fist 10 days then their be ok to go back, However other fish may love to eat your baby platies so just watch them.
In my just guppy tanks i leave the fry with the adults and all is good.

Until your fish have a chance to mature some, they will all look like females. The first hint is usually after they are over 2 months old.

Thanks how can u tell if they are male or female

To differentiate males from females you use the presence or absence of gonopodiums. Please see my post for sex determination that you can reach from a link in my signature area. I called it "sexing livebearers".
