Giants of platies

[emeraldking]

Overhere some pictures of random platies of mine.

The largest ones are just over 8 cm. Last picture shows one that just hits the 8 cm (So, not the largest one). These are now swimming outdoors for the moment.

Actually, they can...
One of the secrets of getting them to grow like that is something most people like to get rid of. And that's algae...!
Overhere an older picture of one of my red swordtails with a nice size...

But I had them bigger as well...

Cool! Heres mine, they are too timid so cant measure them, ig about 6 or 5 centimetres.
They look small in the photo, they are too scared
