Ok...this is a bit wacky but...go to Uncle Wally's and buy the cheapest
aquarium air pump you can find (probably about 6 bucks) and a piece of 
pump hose.  Insert hose end on pump and other end in platy and it should 
'blow-dry' overnite...
depending on ambient humidity.                        Kahley
