Aww congrats! Lol I know the feeling! It's so exciting!
Yeah they are dark, you have to look very closely at the sand to spot them, they are well hidden against it!
No the mothers are still fat. I put them back into the main tank. I have a hunch it's the cobra tail as she is slightly-not much-slimmer than the half black. I will need to keep an eye out for fry in the main tank in case she still hasn't had them.
Ok so after another head count we have about 9 or 10 babies! It's just hard to see them as they are all dark! They are all out in the open, which is encouraging the platy babies to come out and there are definitely 2 of them because they are both out swimming together too!
