I find that if a fish can get itself into a gap, it can usualy get out again. The only exceptions I have found sofar, is plecs and the larger catfish.

I would bury the plant to stop it getting itself stuck cos the substrate of the biOrb is pretty sharp and can damage your platy.

will

 

[shang hi]

just did that, thanks for all the help every one

ps. did you say the ceramic media of the biOrb is sharp, not to be rude but its as blunt and round as a baseball, maby thats what the majoroty of the media is like by i buryed all the "sharp" ones at the bottom so none of my fishys can get hurt.
and agan i didn't mean to be rude.
