Hi I fish gave birth to platy in February and its not really growing. It is like half an inch i think.... I think it is the tank size 1 gallon. I only have one special one all died from ich really hard to get rid of :(  Any help tips thanks btw i will switch the tank
 
 
Ich is not hard to get rid of. It's just keeping an eye on the fish with a lot of TLC. I used the heat and aquarium salt method. All my fish are now ich free. Here's a website I got a lot of imformation about ich: http://www.cichlid-forum.com/articles/ich.php . I also got a lot of good advice on here about ich. 
 
Also, your tank is way to small for platies. They need at least 10 gallons or more. 
 
I second that a 1 gallon tank is far too small for your platy and that you do need at least a 10 gallon.
 
Could you tell us more about your tank.  Is it cycled, if so how?  Since it is so small I'm wondering if you have a heater.  Also fry need frequent feeding, how often are you feeding it?  In such a small tank you'll need to do frequent water due to size and the frequent feeding that fry need.
