Chlo Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 (edited) I'm still setting up my 20 gallon tank, and I just bought three platies (2 females and one male). Right now they are in quarantine. I'm planning on getting 6 panda cories later, and I was wondering if I could fit more platies? I got the orange and yellow ones with black speckles (calico maybe?) and I would like to get a couple of the bluish variation, either only 2 females or 2 females and a male. I probably wouldn't keep many of the fry if they have babies. There would be no other fish (besides the corydoras). Alsooo....My platies seem to always be pooping (even though I haven't fed them yet). I've also seen them eat their poop.....Is that normal??

KBOzzie59 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Yes. How many depends on filtration, if you are doing live plants, and how much time you want to spend maintaining the tank. You may have not fed them but they will find microscopic food items in a tank and they will eat algae. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an Aquaclear 30, and I am also doing live plants (but for now only anubias and java fern). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
