What's best for my fish ?

[JoshShuts80]

i currently own a 8.5 gallon tank , with 2 very large live plants,and an air stone , in my tank I have 1 black moore (1-2 inches) and 4 danios (both 1 inch long) and two platys (both 1 inch long ) ,I understand that I cannot currently hold anymore fish as it exceeds the limit , I'm pretty sure I may have already crossed the limit of fish. But I recently noticed that my two platys are male and female and it looks like they are getting ready to mate. I don't want them to have babies in an overcrowded tank , I also have a tropical fish tank which could very well hold some of my danios , I was thinking to move about 2-3 danios into the tropical tank as I have read they can survive in there quite well, any suggestions ?

The other tank is 90 litres whereas my cold water tank is only 39

I think you could move them over

IF parameters are the same, if not you need to slowly acclimate them

If your Platies are sexually mature they have mated, Even separated from a male your female can produce fry for about 6 months, Luckily your Black Moor should eat the fry, so will the parents and only a few should survive.

I'm afraid your tank is too small for the moor. Fancy goldfish need tanks of at least 100l.
