HI Everyone.... My husband thought it would be nice to get my 2 year old son a 20 gal freshwater tank and everything. It's been up and running for about 7 months now. We have 5 Mickey Mouse platies, 1 cory cat, and 1 pleco. We have only had one platy die on us out of all in this time. I have been reading every post on here sense I joined just so I wouldn't be asking too many repeated questions and I am sure I have missed some.
Well about a week and a half ago, we found "A" fry in the tank and no more yet. I don't even know which one had it. I do know I have one male platy and 4 females. The 2 white females both have fry that I can see in them but they don't look like they are about to pop by no means yet.
So far, I have been able to save the 1 fry and "it" is growing like a weed. He is in the same tank but seperated from the rest. I guess my question is.... when can I introduce him back into the tank with no restrictions? Not like there needed to be but I kinda freaked because I didn't know anything about them till now. My husband did all the work and knows about them but now I am getting interested and doing massive research on info.
I know there will be more fry coming and we are in the process of putting more plants in there and such for the other fry to hide when they come.
We do partial water changed every week.... test the water and all is good.... and I am feeding them flake food, brine shrimp, and even tried the "blood worm" ( I think that's what it is YUCK) LOL. But anyhow, anymore info would be great.
Sorry for being so long.
Thank you in Advance!
