I had a batch of 7 surviving fry about a month and a half ago, Today I got a batch of 12 at the moment all living fry from a blue female platy, [the other batch was from my gold platy] I have two males and two females in the aquarium along with 4 serpaes and 1 gourami [serpaes are only in there because I had to empty out my other aquarium for a while] They are so little, and I never even saw my other platies until they were double the newborn fry's size.
I don't have any of the green floating plant right now due to the snails eating it all. I have only one small piece left in the other platy nestbox. they eat normal food now, but pretty much we don't have any more plant. Can we just cruntch up the food real little for about a week until we ge the food?
Also, the platy's that are in the big aquarium outside of the nestboxes are going up and seems like they really want to get in there. One of the males is acting like he wants to either breed again, attack her, or be with her again. The gourami and the other two platies continue to go up there to the mom and the babies like they want her out/want to eat the babies. Is this a normal behaviour of the other fish, and is it meaning like "congratulations!" or "gimme the babies I'm hungry!"
Any other advice?
