Hi

For the first 24 hours i think it is, The mother wont touch them but the others mite, I normally put mine in a breeding cage they way i can also see they getting enough food and are growing etc.

If you leave them some will survive and some may get eaten.

Depends a lot on how heavily planted your tank is really IME

lots of fine leafed plants and moss and they will be mostly fine.

Do put a stocking over your filter inlet for a few weeks if using a power/canister filter as they will get sucked in.

I just saw my first baby platy today - but it got eaten straight away by my apistogramma :(

I've now shifted the mum platy to another tank, but there's some small gold gourami in there. Are gourami likely to eat the babies too?
