Species Tank

[lawrie]

hi, i have a 20 gallon tank and was wondering what live breeders would be best to keep? i already have guppys in another tank, i was thinking plattys? do you think 3 would be ok in a 20 gallon? the tank is well planted.

or maybe you could suggest a better live breeder to keep?

are you looking to breed them? 3 platies would be great in there if you get all female or 1 male 2 female, if your after an all male tank then get 5

i wantet t get 2 females 1 male, and breed them. i used to have a male and female in my community tank but the female died.

a male and 2 females would be fine in that tank, it also gives room for a few fry when they grow

thats true! do you think the adult plattys would be ok with dwarf gouramis? i have my 4 gouramisin a 60 gallon tank.

i don't see a problem with that i have kept platies with a blue 3 spot gourami in the past
