Platy Fry

[Rocknrobyn]

I have platy fry FINALLY!!!!! But anyways I have them in a 10 gallon tank do I need to turn my filter on or leave it off??

 

[Rocknrobyn]

anyone?

Turn it on, but make sure the filter intake is well covered not to suck any fry in.

You need to have a functional filter in any tank where you keep fish. Even fry produce some ammonia so you need to process that. I use filter sponge to cover the inlet of my fry filters. Just a slit in the end of the sponge and push it up over the tubing like this.

This is what it looks like in place after about a month.

If your current filter is too strong you could use a sponge filter, or as Old man said, use some sponge over The inlet

Thank you guys so much! I am going to go to my pet store tomorrow and get one thank you!

The sponges that I use are sold as replacement parts for hang on back filters.

Congrats on your fry.
I currently have Platy & Guppy fry, hard work, but they're fun to watch.
At 3/4 weeks old their personalities are beginning to show
