If you throw the pregnant platy in a breeder, turn the lights out, and throw in some food, she will pop pretty quickly (if she's ready). They need to feel safe.
Then you can get fry food and keep the babies in the breeder until they are functionally swimming.
It will give them all a much better chance of surviving in the plants that you do have.
Good luck!
