    if you have largish gravel then like 1 of my tanks, i use a proper gravel syphoner(not just a peice of hose) i pick the gravel up in it get the ‘sludge’ from it and drop it back on the plant in seconds…lol :D MARINA do lots of different sizes for each and every tank…
    also for the plants…if you want them to take over so you are cutting them a lot… i would use fluvals (HAGEN) new range the t5’s they are suppost to be brilliant at growing plants and bringyour fishes colours out..they might be a bit more pricy but they may be well worth it.
    I am defo guna use them on ma next tanks or in my fish room :P :lol:

    :D I would introduce more females, i have my platies at 1 male to every2 females,i have water lettuce in my tank and the fry hide in the long roots, but any floating plants with roots or that dnt know how to say it but goes under a inch or two in the tank with space for fish to swim between if you get me is a goos idea as most of my platies before i added the water lettuce got eaten unless i caught them
    keep us updated :lol:

    when my platies first bred there was only 3-4 fry, they were fat for about a month…and still are,i can now get more fry by giving them a variety in what they eat…live bloodworm always does the trick with my platies and mollies, they usually give birth within 3 days of feeding them(this could just be because they were ready to go though) :lol:
    ur best bet is to just feed them well and keep the tank clean…syphont the dirt out of the gravel and if they are pregnant(which is more than likely, then they will go and you should get more then 3 fry….
    my platies have more and more each time they breed,
    (now its becoming rediculus with the amount of fry i have….so im making a fish room lol) 8)
