Update~ Everyone is doing good so far and my water parameters are where they should be! :)

--I did move one fry to my fry tank because it kept getting sucked up the filter. I would have put a pre...

I went ahead and did a 95% water change and intense gravel cleaning.

I will update in a few days...

Will do... i hesitated because i didnt want to do to much with fry in the tank.

And I am assuming by floaters you mean food right? None of the fish are dead.

I never do this....but for some reason i did this morning....

While feeding this morning I held the container of food over the water while feeding. And spilled a large amount of Hikari First Bites...

Thanks. Im going to look into both options.

i have started warming the water to the temp they are used to and that seems to help. And i think your right about the frequency of water changes. I used to do pwc's everyday then i went to every...

I have never mastered the turkey baster...lol

I came up with something that is working to some degree....you know how you can buy the little squirt bottles at Walmart that are empty when you buy...

I have been using Prime every time so i don't see how. I had an estimate of 40 fry in my tank and i only have 5 left.

It has been at least 3 days without anymore dying so maybe what ever it was...

Well the count went up to 22 today.

And Ellie one of my platy mom's had her fry today... I set up my 5g with seeded filter media from another tank. Didn't want the mom's to eat them and i didn't...

For the last 3 months I have been using my tap from outside because I use 5 gallon water jugs. So I would go outside turn the water on and let it run a few minutes then rinse the water jug out and...

lost 3 more this morning. Did another 50% pwc with warmer water. My new batch isn't here yet so i still have alittle time to figure out what to do...

That could be it..over time of repeated wc with treated tap that is colder than the tank water could have stressed them so that they died. I will start using warmer water and see if that helps.

Well maybe i shouldn't. With me doing a 20% Friday , a 20% Saturday and a 50% today i already basically did a 100% WC.

Why did this have to happen :'((

Would a 100% wc help? I usually do a 20% pwc and today since i keep losing them did a 50% pwc.

Im expecting another batch any day now and with this happening im not sure if the new batch should be...

Well it wasn't the 2 almost 3 month old fry. It was a mixture of the 1 and 2 month old fry. I know it has me very upset and worried. I did the same thing I always do in my pwc's. I found 4 more today...

The only thing that changed was adding the 3 molly fry Thursday. And all three of them were very energetic, perky, eating great.

I usually fill my jugs up from outside i turn on the water and let it run a few minutes then rinse out the jug then fill and treat.

I am feeding them Hikari First Bites. I can't find any baby...

I have a 10 gallon fry tank that has been set up for almost 3 months and I started it with seeded media from another tank. There is was about 20-25 platy fry and {3 molly fry (which i added this past...

Welcome!!!

Well now that i have a natural color gravel of browns, whites, black, etc. I noticed my "Ellie" female platy fish is expecting again and I have no clue how I will be able to see her fry when they get...
