my first spawn attempt

[rollntider]

sorry havent updated in a while, had some other things to attend to.
Well after a few days they went into a not wanting to eat stage, no MW , BBS, decapped eggs, powdered fry food, egg yolk nothing no one ate. I dug what little java moss out of one of my tanks and put in there. By this time I was down to about 20 fry. I had no other problems, PH, temp, everything was within accepted ranges from the various research I have done. But it appears for some reason the Java moss may have "saved" them to give them a haven to hang in. The ones that were left started eating. and I have a huge fat one that looks like he is a week older than the rest...LOL I Have approximately 15 babie left but they all hide so it is hard to get accurate count.

Well u said platys so thats livebearers........SO just get a female and in about 2-4 weeks ull see a lot of fry.....

Bettas are diffrent u gotta condition them....then u gotta let them sit...let the male make a bubblenest.....then release the female sometimes the male beats her up......

anyone in the live bearer section could help you but basically on Livebearers all you need is a male and female and let nature take its course.

I have like 4 good sized ones and the rest are still small....so you may only get to see the 4 ...LOL The funny thing is some days I think I have about 8 then the next it looks like 20 are in there. they like to hide in the Java moss, so I am not sure how many my have....they love to eat decapped brine eggs (unhatched and micro worms)
