I have 3 platty fry in a 5 gal. tank (The only one that survived from over 100!). Anyways, they're healthy, and they're about 2mo old. The only thing is, they're only about a 1/4 in long?
Is this normal for their age or do they seem small?

:crazy:
 
Seems pretty normal, maybe slightly on the small side. What are you feeding them, how often are you feeding them and what exactly are your current water params? :)
 
Fry tend to grow at very different rates, even if they are from the same batch. I put some of my brand new Platy fry into my fry tank the other day, and to my surprise, they didn't seem much smaller than a couple from the last batch, a month old! Some from that batch, on the other hand, were much bigger and had already been moved to my growing-on tank.

I wouldn't worry too much, I'm sure they will grow.

How often do you feed them? (I feed fry 3 times a day). (Sorry, I just noticed that Annastasia already asked that). :*)
Are there any other fish in the tank?

Good luck with them. :thumbs:
