Hi guys. Just perusing my 60l tank as the minnows are currently spawning and just so happened to notice a tiny fry. Can only assume it's platy fry. Anything I can pop in the tank to feed the tiny thing ??
I'm a granny 😁 lol

If it is a platy fry all you need to feed it is crushed flakes. That is the advantage with livebearer fry, they are so big at birth you can feed them adult food, just crushed finer to fit their mouths. And flake is very easy to crush to powder.
If your minnows breed, you will need special food for their fry as they'll be very tiny.

If I were you I would set up a fry net or a floating breeding trap for the fry as they are often seen as food by other fish.
As for feeding, I fed my guppy fry a mixture of crushed flakes and baby brine shrimp.

Hope I helped

And here's me thinking the baby platy had gone to the lil fishbowl in the sky as I'd not seen it for a few days and today I glance at a white pebble during feeding time and see it thriving. Probably four times the size and a dark brown colour. I'm so happy 😀
