Thank you so much for answering my many questions. Possibly just one more, what type of fish and amounts would you suggest for the 65g soft water tank? Obviously, my platies have been my main concern and now I am at a loss for the type of fish I'd want to have in this large tank.

Thank you for you response. So I guess moving forward I will move my Corys to the new tank and then populate that tank with soft water tropical fish(?) As for my platies they are obviously out of the window to return them so I guess I will continue to raise them in my 25g tank and start storing...
