Some will survive, they can hide in the gravel.

She will eat most if not all of them. I had a female that was turning to eat them everytime she birthed one. Luckily I had her in a breeder that allowed the fry to sink to the bottom through a grate. You can get them at PetSmart or any LFS generally. Thats what I would recommend if you want the fry.

The plastic breeding boxes generally do not offer a "safe" or stress free environment, which can cause fish to eat their fry.

she gave birth 1 week ago in the big tank 7 frys that i can find! tiny orange fry on orange gravel!  last time she gave birth in the trap and she had 10 survie birthing

  im sooooo happy (i know platties are easy)

btw i did have a trap but she stressed out with it this time 2-3 days before so i let her into the tank
