Baby Platy

Question
We found one fry in the tank that we have a male and female. It was small but doing well. But what we have found now is hundreds of small swimming specks that are jumping from rock to rock. Are these baby platies?

Answer
Hi Todd;

If they look like teeny-tiny fish they are probably baby platies. If not, they are probably a harmless water bug. These kinds of critters exist in many of our tanks, we just don't always see them because the fish eat them.
