Mickey Mouse Platies

[Cazgar]

My 35 litre tank has finally cycled (fish less) & I was thinking of what I'd like to have in it.
I was in my LFS today & they had some adorable young Mickey Mouse Platies in & I could't resist so I got 3& they are now happily exploring.
The shop also had some lovely blue ones, so my question is could I also have 3 blues as well as the MM's?

How many males and females do you already have? And what is your filtration? You are looking at about 10g to work with so I would go more than 4-6 and you want a ration of 1male to 2-3 females.

+ 1 for the ratios. 1 Male to three females is what I would recomend, Spread as much of the stress caused by the bothersome males

Thank you, I went back to the store & got 2 more MM's, so I now have 1male & 4 females, so he has plenty to keep him occupied.

Should Help alot. Where abouts are you in the NW any way, What LFS you get them from?

I got them from Dobbies in Southport, I also got the guppies in my other tank there too.
Their fish always look nice & healthy, never seen any dead ones or ropey ones in their tanks.
