I Cannot Resist!

Everytime I go in a petshop and see pregnant platies, I want to buy them! Maybe because I know that when she gives birth in there, her fry (is there a plural for this word???) will just be eaten by the other fishes.... Poor babies...

But the stores here in our place do not sell individual livebearers. Its 4 platies for a certain amount. So I always end up not buying any coz I know that they breed easily and I wont have space for them in my tank.

Red Platies don't look that red to me. They're slighly richer in color, but look more like a rich orange than red to me.
