Actually just did a test, nitrates are almost there. All other levels excellent.

Yes it is, I posted on here last week because the deceased fish was swimming up on the surface almost acting strange. A test showed levels were all pretty good apart from nitrates so I did a 75% change on Sunday to attempt to rectify that. All other fish very healthy and even have 2 fry swimming...

The yellow platy pictured seems to be bullying the others. Mixed genders. Should I be worried? I have no way to separate them unfortunately. Sadly I lost a male last week and there wasn’t even a corpse so I’m wondering if she ate him?!

wow I love it!! Thanks for the tip. I’ll do a bit of research. Sorry I didn’t make it clear, I have left some of the snails in as I know they are of some benefit, there’s just so many and they multiply by the minute seemingly! Shrimps look so nice, LFS advised against them with platys but I’ve...

i would love a larger tank and to have a few different species living together, but my home hasn’t space for anything larger unfortunately. Some of the tanks on this forum are stunning.

Just done a 75% change. My babies were a bit like wtf?! Hopefully this will improve things for them. Once again many thanks for the replies on here.

Just ordered some from Amazon. I wish I would have known this a month ago as I was by the coast for a week!

A few people suggesting bigger water changes. I’ll do one now. I was only doing 10% on advice from the store I got them from, but this is also the store that sold me plants covered in snail eggs. Thanks for all the replies.

This is a lovely idea as it would also look nice in the tank. However I couldn’t live further from the beach

Thanks for this. I have read up about the different shapes of fins. I have a white platy who I’m certain is male, and about 3 which I’m certain are female. The others it doesn’t seem as clear right now. Possibly they are much younger.

Hi I’ve never posted before. I am a relative beginner, having a modest size tank with 6 platys mixed gender. All fish are doing well, one has even given birth (I believe she was pregnant when I brought her home). But today one of the fish is acting very odd swimming at the surface constantly...
