Hannah Parker Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 I love them all but I like the Active Rainbow Community best 🙂 I love high-energy, colorful tanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tihshho Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Is this in general, or are the limits for this question bound by a specific tank size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, not familiar with the RHL acronym. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theplatymaster Posted May 18, 2022 Author Share Posted May 18, 2022 (edited) RHL= Reticulated Hillstream Loach, also in that tank its 11 platies not 20 Edited May 18, 2022 by Theplatymaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tihshho Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Keep in mind that Platy's will produce tons and tons of babies once they are mature (which they look to be) and the tank contains both males and females. Going with Amano's would add variance and a low bioload, but you'll have to be sure to keep up with water params when the Platy population booms.

Do you think it would be safe to add some nerites/mystery snails to this mix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tihshho Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Nerites sure, as for Mystery snails I don't see why not. I don't have a lot of experience with Mystery snails as it's been a long long time since I've had any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flumpweesel Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 I think I'd learn towards the breeding set up although it was tough choice between that and active Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bev C Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 I would have to say the breeding I do not breed or have a platy but I love pelcos and Cories allot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
