After feeding my fish tonight, I sat and watched the ones in the 10 gallon for awhile (haven't had time to do that the last few days). While watching, I saw a fry! I watched some more and then saw another fry! My boyfriend (who has gotten up from trying to sleep) and I have been watching 'em for awhile now. They're quite cute 
I checked my records and these fry were born about 10 days ago. They already have black on them - if I remember correctly that's early than the breeder-net-raised fry got black.
My boyfriend has been sitting over there for five or ten minutes now and gives me frequent updates
He wonders if there are "nanny" fish that will watch over the fry, as the last few days my usually-shy-and-often-chased female has gotten more aggressive towards the male that always chases her. He said it makes him wonder if she knows the fry are there and is trying to protect 'em. He just told me he keeps hoping to see more fry! I'll make a fishy-lover out of him yet! 
I'm sort of surprised they've surprised the Betta being in there Maybe there were more before I put Spiderman back in 
Ah well...I don't have room for all the fry I have now, so if they get eaten, well 
I have a five gallon tank and a ten gallon tank and ten fry. Two fry are in the ten gallon with four adult Platys, three Corys, a Pleco, and a Betta in the ten gallon. The other eight fry are in the five gallon (and quickly outgrowing it!). I do have somebody who will take some of them from me once they're a little bigger.
The boyfriend, Kevin, wants me to go give the fish some tubifix worms because he thinks the fry will like them His latest comment was "Wow, you can see all the anatomy on the fry" in an awed voice.
