Theplatymaster Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Platies: I have mostly platies, to quote cory "The platies are just in there because they are cute". I like platies because they are cute and eat algae. Glowlight Tetra: This is my funniest fish,for some reason this tetra thinks she is a platy, and she nibbles at duckweed. Its weird. Betta: I also have a betta in a 10 gallon tank, with 1 male platies in a location i regret. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're fun, come in bright colors, tolerant of a wide variety of water parameters and they eat everything. Platies are the golden retrievers of the fresh water aquarium. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavdad45 Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 In my granddaughters tank, we started with platies. Being a youngster she liked the mouse ears on the Mickey Mouse p[aties 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaigeIs Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Two of my tanks were way overstocked thanks to the amorous shenanigans of my platy fish. This morning I donated 18 "teenagers" to my LFS, then I came home to find this little guy swimming merrily in the tank. Sigh... I wonder if I can write off the donation as a tax deduction? Still in love with platy! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
