The many years I've kept different types of fish without heaters... LOL.My tank is sub-tropical and as such is not heated. Their water temp stays at 72 to 73 and drops only down to 70 at night (the fry tank is the same). I have two Platties and they're fine. Very lively and colourful. I wouldn't class my tank as cold water 'cause it's in a very warm house. I have M.E. and the house has to be heated right for me so I don't get too cold 'cause I'm not able to keep my own temp very well... like Fish! And the Tank is in the warmest room, the living room.
I'd say platties wouldn't do well in a cold water tank and I wouldn't class them as cold water, but mine have never had a problem in my tank. They live with Guppies and although I've just had another death it wasn't water temp related and normally they do fine too.
