Hi all

We've had tropical fish for less than 6 months. We've got some tetras, mountain minnows, platys, mollys and one dwarf gourami (lost one :( )

Anyway today we discovered that we've got three baby platys!!!!!!!! We managed to get them into a "breeding net trap" that we've had in hope for a while and now we don't know what to do!

Can anyone give us any information about new live bearers? Do they need special feeding? How long will they have to stay in the trap? The big fish are eyeing them up hungrily but at least they're safe now.

By the way, it's our guess that they're platys - as there was a fat female recently but they just might be mollys?!!

We'd really appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.
