my guppy tank

Ok HELP! It appears my platy is pregnant. I just saw her pop out a little fry that went and dug into the gravel at the corner of the tank. I noticed a little white dot on her rear end yesterday, but did not think anything of it. I just noticed a white dot again and then a minute later a baby popped out.

I don't know what to do. I have a little transport carrier for them but it is not filtered at all. Other than that I do not have another tank.

**UPDATE** I see at least two in there. I took all the plants and moved them to one corner of the tank so now there is a little forrest in that area. I already found a home for the male so hopefully there won't be too many more babies in my future.

Ok, After making the "forrest" I've counted at least 5 that have made their way over there. It is too dense for the other fish to get to, so maybe they will make it. Not sure what I'll do with 5+ (maybe) platys though.

With that much cover they should be fine. What other fish are in the tank?

 

[Kaitie09]

I only have 3 platys and a snail. The male will be going to his new home tomorrow, so that will just leave me with 2 females.

Just watch the females because they'll steal eat the fry and IMO are stealthier than the males

Sorry question rescinded. I just found out that someone in my family used to breed them and totally set me straight. I'll be getting a 20-29 gallon tank, a breeding net for tiny fry and a lot of plants and hiding rocks for older fry. For cleaning I'll buy the healthiest tiniest plecostomus fish I can find and when it's too big I have a friend with a huge 100+ gallon tank that the fish can move to.

Thanks!
