The last time Alvar's fish was pregnant we either didn't get her out of the special tank in time and she ate all her young - or they were so small they fell through the cracks and became little snacks for the rest of the fish in the tank.
This time we were better prepared, put some panty hose in the bottom of the box so the baby fish didn't slip through, and we got the mother out in time as well.
This round there were about 30 baby fry - and a couple days later, another batch was born - another 20 were added to the group! Currently they are swimming happily in Caleb's tank - all 50 of them - would anyone like some cute baby platys to take home?
