Week and a half old fry with new fry

[Platysrcool12345]

My platies has some fry about 9-10 days ago and then another one of my platys had fry about 5 days ago I asked if those could be kept with each other earlier this week but now I woke up to molly fry. Is 9 days a big size difference. Can I keep them together or will they get eaten? Thanks

I have kept some together that were weeks apart but it just depends on how big the fry are. Can I see picture of size difference.

In my experience Molly fry are larger than platy fry. To be honest, I've kept fry with 3 months of an age difference together. They typically don't bother each other - I would not be at all concerned.

I agree. I’ve kept different ages together.

Hope those pictures work. There are more platys but those are a few of them. There are about somewhere between 15-30 platy

Also they are in different waters is it ok to acclimate the fry or do they not have a built up immune system yet

I mean, if water parameters are the same then it should not be an issue. I would suspect you will be just fine. When is the last time you've tested your water? Might be worth doing before switching them over.

Same and had no problems. However older fry (2-3months or so) will chase new and fresh fry to try and eat them with no success.
