platies

Ok, I can't give a picture so I will explain best I can. She's big and box like and her gravid spot is really dark and big, and there also this white dot at her behind, I know all these things means she's close to birth but I have no idea how close.

Hey i just got a 70l tank which is currently cycling! Im a relative beginner (only had one 60l when i was a teenager) so i was interested in some fish like platies, neon tets and guppies but was wondering what sort of numbers i should be getting them in so theyre happy but not overstocked! thanks :D

Hello there!   I've got a couple questions to ask that motiviated me into making this account, but I figured I'd pop in here and first introduce myself! My name is Christina, and I'm from a small hub-city in New Brunswick, Canada. I have just a 5 gallon fish tank so far that I've had for about...

Kinda panicking a bit right now.....   Okay, so I got my daughter some fish for her birthday last weekend. This is something new; I haven't had fish since I was 3 (very faint memory triggered by the smell of fish food...but I digress).   We have a 3 gallon tank with a nice sized filter, and we...

Yesterday I set up my old 30L tank in order to make some room in the 60L for the influx of yet another batch of platy fry expected within the week. I had put the sponge for the newly set-up tank next to the Fluval U1 filter in the 60L for just over a week to seed it. Transferred some of the fry...

I tend to rotate my fishes diets between discus granules and two different types of tropical flakes.   As i've ran out of one of the types of tropical flakes i've been giving them more discus granules than they'd normally get regularly. The problem is i've noticed that the platies (2 female...

Hi everyone, Just yesterday I realised that we have fry in my 21L tank. We got one adult female platy and one male balloon molly yesterday morning aswell. Talking about bad timing. Before we got the balloon molly and platy we already had 1 male guppy and two female black platies about 2 weeks...

Hello, I woke up a few days ago to rather a lot of baby platies, I have a feeling both females have given birth, eeek! I only have a 28L tank and don't have another to keep fry in, they seem to be surviving and hiding well My question is, how long do I leave it before I can re-home them? Thank...
