I’ve had fish since I was a kid and now I have a 20 gal planted tank with 10 or so Platys!
Yes, we both overlooked the size of the tank by our own enthusiasm. So, sorry for that...Welcome @MysticFlwr. Sorry to contradict you @Fishmanic and @emeraldking but they said there tank is 20gal and isn't this month's contest 16gal and smaller? Or are you not too strict on that rule? Don't mean to sound rude.![]()

Yeh, @BigJfish12 fish is correct. The present contest is for 16 gal and smaller. But you could enter October's contest which will be for tanks sized at 17 to 30 gallons.Welcome @MysticFlwr.

Hello. That's quite a few Platys in such a small tank. Especially, if you have several females in it. Live bearing fish are pretty good at breeding, so at the very least, you should change half the tank water a couple of times every week. Remember, the more water in the tank, the more room for a mistake in tank management.I’ve had fish since I was a kid and now I have a 20 gal planted tank with 10 or so Platys!
