Is It Ok To Keep Only Male Platies?

[ellena]

I'm thinking of 3 as part of a 60l community with male endlers and cories. Obviously, that doesn't give me room for tons of fry, so just males would be ideal if that's OK.
Thanks

The males will be aggressive, so I think you'd need more than 3. Is 60l 16 gallons? You might not have enough room for all the fish. You'd need 4, or ideally 5 or 6 males in my opinion. I may be wrong.

You indeed will not have any room in that tank for more than a few males. The result of females would put you over the top.

Thanks guys So would the few males I have room for be OK in your opinion oldman, or would I need more as platygirl said? You should know platygirl, with that username

hi, how many corys and guppies are there?

 

[ellena]

I was going to get 4 cories and already have 7 endlers.

My experience with all male populations is different than Platygirl's. I find that an all male of even the typically more aggressive X helleri, wild type swordtails, is a fairly peaceful tank because there is no posturing and competition for the ladies.

Hmmm, so many options!

Lol I know, such differing opinions. I think maybe they're just like people. Some are lovey some are arses. I'm gonna take my chances though and just hope for the best
