Hi everyone, this is Jennifer from Cairns, Australia, and we have a pond full of platys. Originally we had 5 goldfish in it, and they grew quite large. I went to a school fete and purchased, what I thought were 3 baby goldfish, but they were actually platys. Well they started breeding almost straight away, and we thought they were baby goldfish. We got an aquariam for our son and took some from the pond and put them into the aquarium. My husband, who used to have tropical fish in the UK, said he thought they were platys, and we have since had this confirmed. It's just great having an outside pond full of platys! I have purchased a pair of black mollies and orange swordtails and put them in the pond, and hopefully they will breed soon. Here are a couple of photos of my pond, and the fish coming up for food.
