platys in breeder tank

[vanilla]

Hi, the platys had some more fry this morning only 4 but can't see any now,
i have bought a 3 in 1 breeder plastic tank thing, should i move her into here, my 3 male orange platys are following her around again which they seem to do if she is going to pop a baby out.
Or will she get too stressed out, this thing seems to go into the main tank, i am assuming that she has more fry you can still see black dots in her which i assume are fry, can anyone help please.

Hi I don't know if this will help but last week my platy had fry and it started in the breeder net and the other fish were nipping at the net and getting the fry out by there tails it was a sad site so I went and got a sep tank and put them in to take some stress off of her she ended up having 21 fry and 11 are still alive doing good in there own tank but the mom died the next morning I think it was the stress of moving her while she was giving birth .Hope this helps.

thanks sunniesun, one of my girls looks quite fat so i might move her into the tank,if she does have any more fry i haven't got any where to keep them when grown, what do you all do with them.

for right now I have them in a 5 gallon tank along with some baby apple snails I found when I was cleaning my main tank Im not sure what Im going to do with them yet cause this is mt first batch of fry Ill prob give them away ........ or you can check with your local LFS they might take them.......
