Baby platys will eat just about anything. Because they are much larger when born than most fish, they don't need to be fed a liquid fry food - this is counterproductive. I feed mine using the same flake food I use for their parents, crushed into very small pieces. Flake food softens quickly in water so they will bite pieces off. You could also try crushing pellets, but this is a lot of work compared to crumbling flakes. If you want optimum growth and colour you can also supplement the diet with live food like microworms or vinegar eels, but personally I don't bother with platy fry.

How long until you can put your baby platies in with the adults?

The reason for isolating baby fish from adults is that most adult fish consider fry to be snacks. When the baby platys are too big to fit in the biggest mouth in the aquarium, it's safe to put them in. Remember that the biggest mouth may not always belong to the biggest fish! If the biggest fish in the aquarium are adult platys, when they're about 1-1.5cm long (around half an inch) they're big enough. They'll probably reach this size after about a month, provided the water is warm and clean and they're fed high quality food. The other consideration is feeding; if you put baby fish into a tank with adult fish and your main food source is pellets, they may not get enough to eat, so make sure you use some flake food until they get bigger. (If you normally feed flakes, this isn't a problem.)

How do platys give birth and what is the process like?

Platys give birth through a process called live-bearing, where the female gives birth to live young instead of laying eggs. The female platy carries the developing embryos inside her body until they are fully formed, and then she gives birth to the baby platys. This process is similar to how mammals give birth, with the babies being born fully formed and able to swim and survive on their own shortly after birth.
