Adult fish will eat the fry. Move the pregnant Platy to a breeding tank if you can, and reduce the stress on that fish. If you can't put her in a separate tank, a breeding trap is an option, but that might cause too much stress on the fish. If you don't want to remove the pregnant Platy and want the babies in the same tank, some floating plants will provide cover for them. I think a separate tank for the fry is the best bet.

They can eat normal fish food flakes, but just crush it up real fine into a powder almost.
