Where do I look for my fry??

I agree with haaris..

Due to stress they could abort pregancy.. My 2 swordtails did that on me recently..

they were so fat and pregnant and i got them moved to the breeders tank but day by day their tummy went normal.. now they have the gravid spot but not fat at all..

On the other hand.. the guppies are doing fine and all the symptoms show that they will drop any day.

GOOD LUCK THOUGH!

I see there is angles in the same tank with the "FRY" i guess they could of having a mid night snack!!!

I'd say that they were eaten, in the gravel, in the filter, or just hiding. Platy fry are pretty hard to see, so you might have just missed seeing them.

I have 3 pregnant female platys with others in a 10 gal. tank. Just a day ago, i put one of the famales in a breeding net with a plant for shelter. Which i thought would provide coverage for the new born fry and would reduce stress for the mommy. And making this easier to catch the fry instead of searching for them. (Last time i had only one fry, when the mother was in the tank with the rest. So sad... figuring what happened to the rest of the fry. Don't wanna go through that sadness again.) Since reading about the breeding nets and such, Do u think i should just release her back into the tank with the others, and risk losing some and searching for fry, or just leave her there, thinking if i move her it will produce more stress and the loss of all the babies? Or to just leave her there seeing what will happen since her belly is still quite full.. i still see black dots in her stomache, and she doesn't seem stressed, i don't think. Any ideas what i should do?
