Platie fry?

I platie fry had between 40 and 60 babies the other day, wednsday, I wasnt expecting so many, I only have a spare 20 gallon (set up and cycled with only 2 apple snails in it, I am planing on puting about 10 in there. Is it true that bigger fish will eat babies? If so, do i just take them out the breeder box and put them in the tank with the big fish or do i put one of the big fish in the box with the babies?

Answers:
Yes platies can reproduce like rabbits, And have alot of fry (babies) I would suggest asking the pet shop if they want the fry or they may give you a small amount of cash, Or store credit, But if you dont want to do that then the babies provide protein for larger fish,Tasty. I would suggest picking the 10 most heathlyest ones and puting them in your 20 gal with a sponge filter, The power filter will suck them up.

It is true. Bigger fish will eat the babies. If you can separate them, it is best, but if you keep them in a tank with bigger fish (or turtles) make sure you provide the fry with some nice floating plants or something to hide in.

Yes, bigger fish WILL eat the babies. Keep them safe by setting up a net in the main tank, or set up another tank, exclusively for the fry. Don't put gravel or plants in the fry tank. Only put a sponge filter in the fry tank. Don't put ANYTHING in a net.
Hope that helps!
Good luck!
