Thinking About Getting A Platy, But Not Sure If It'll Fit In...

[Eines]

I have a 30g tank and everything would be perfect for a platy, except for one problem. There are already four relatively large swordtails in the tank. Although they're not usually agressive, when it comes to feeding time, they like to nip each other and chase each other away from the food. Especially the youngest and smallest swordtail seems to have trouble getting food. Of course, I've been keeping an eye on her, but I know that eventually she'll be bigger and everything will be fine. Platys on the other hand will always be smaller than my swordtails and especially if I get one with hi-fin who will be at an even higher disadvantage, should I be worried?

Trial and error m8, the only way to find out is try, i have mixed platys and swords and they are fine and the swords are lot bigger then the platys.

Well, I guess I'll give it a shot then, although it is good to know that people have succeeded in keeping the two together
