Some weeks ago I bought a half-moon betta for my 30 gallon tank. I thought he would be calm enough to live with other fish as he never flared at my finger or the nerite snails already within the tank. So today, I bought two female platys (one fully red and the other gray with a red tail) to put...

Hey guys! It’s been a while sine I started my Betta +guppies thread (A long time) SO I’ll give a brief recap of how that went. Originally bought 5 guppies, two male three female. Over the course of times the females and a male died before having any fry, leaving only Phoenix, a yellow and green...

So, I was at a party a week ago and found this little guy in a three gallon tank(the fish in my profile picture). His tank had very little water, lots of uneaten food from over feeding, and no filter. Suffice to say something had to be done, so I bought him on the spot. So, Njord is now in a...

I was recently given permission to buy a 20 gallon tank to put in the my kitchen, with one condition. It had to be a bunch of fish living together (my dad isn't a fan of dividers or how they look). So, I jumped at the chance to finally get my dream females. I did a bunch of research on...

So yeah I made a noob mistake. Had an empty ten gallon decided to stock and picked up 3 platies. I noticed one itching and waited to be sure before starting any legitimate treatment and yesterday I found she did in fact have and spread ich to my other two. I want to know if it'd be safe to bump...

I have 3 gold mickey mouse platy in my 10 gallon tank right now with some peppered cory (waiting to put one of my bettas in it when she's big enough). I was able to sex them at 2 females 1 male. I have no doubt that they will eventually have fry in there... livebarers man... they're like...

I have a 20 gallon community tank with a baby bristlenose pleco, male betta, and 3 platys (just got the platys today). Since i introduced the platys, my betta has been chasing them on and off. He never seems to do any harm to them, but will chase them for maybe a minute then retreat to the...

Just wondering how much these usually cost and if they usually are sold at petstores

I got my hands on 3 rather small female bettas today (pictures, there are a lot of them js) and have just acclimated them to a 21 gallon tank but have some questions.Try answering the most you can, thank you :) Can you tell me what kind of bettas these are? How old would you say they are? I...

I added 3 platies to my betta tank 2 days ago and they seem to get along fine but i've noticed today that there's one platy who is always separated from the others and stay in my ornament (see picture below). Do you guys know why my platy might be doing this? It is a male so i dont think it's a...

I tried putting 3 platies with my betta yesterday, how did it go? Watch the video and can someone tell me what kind of platies are these? Are these red wag platies or? Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJKJc7hG3R0

After my betta passed away, I decided to grow out my community tank, and yesterday, I went to the petshop for a blue platy or two for my group {I have one male and three females currently.}, only to find these beautiful, funny looking fish housed with their female platies! My mother instantly...

Hey everyone! So yesterday I went to petco to buy a breeding net, and came home with a 15 gallon tank, oops! (But it was on sale super cheap, so I couldn't help myself ;-)) I feel in love with Drarwf Gouramis recently and would love to get two, but I'm wondering how they might pair with a...

Hello! I was wondering if I could have a betta and 3-4 platys living together in a 10 gallon aquarium. Would the betta be too agressive towards the platy? Thanks! :-)

I just traded my Fluval Edge for a full 10 gallon setup and four panda platys. So far it seems to be a success! The betta and platys will look at each other, then get bored and investigate the plants. No flaring from the betta and the platy seem more curious than anything. Thanks for all of...

Charging headlong into danger, as ever, it's Norichan. Mongkut is an easily bored fish, so I bought him some platies today. I gradually gave him more access to them until now, they've been in the tank for about ten minutes without the bag or net. He seems almost offended? I've kept a careful...
