he's gorgeous!

Yeah I was thinking either I'd try to buy a younger one, which I generally see at the pet store but don't know if they sell that young, or I'd put any male fry I ended up with in my goldy tank once they were big enough; how does this sound?

Awesome, I'll add another female platy to keep mine company; she will be so happy hopefully! My platy is a feeder platy, which I've read is just the ones that aren't as flashy. She is beigy/yellow but has these neat black spots over her and in the right light has a gorgeous shine all over her...

Thanks for the reply! I'm going to keep the platy in with them and maybe get her 1 or 2 friends for in there I think (I'm trying to only keep 2 tanks [I have another 29 gal] and ocassionally a qt tank b/c I move between home and college currently); I can't wait to get more cories! Also I...

Hey everyone; I just upgraded my 10 gal tank to an approx 29 gallon bowfront and I'm trying to figure out whether to add any more platies to it or not. Currently I have 6 female bettas, 2 corys (will be upping this number to 5 or 6) & 1 platy. Does anyone have experience keeping multiple...

Hey everyone; I just upgraded my 10 gal sorority tank to an approx 29 gallon bowfront and I'm trying to figure out whether to add any more platies to it or not. Currently I have 6 female bettas, 2 corys (will be upping this number to 5 or 6) & 1 platy. Does anyone have experience keeping...

I have a female platy who guards the food (algae wafers) in my 10 gallon tank from my 3 corys. I took her out as a temporary solution, as I have an extra 5 gallon. But I'd like to add her back in if possible because I now have a female betta in with the 3 corys who is doing the same; and I...

excuse me while I go wipe away the drool puddle now on my desk :drool:

Ok, thanks guys. I'll try not to seek out any platies then, I don't want to mess w/my betta, he's already doing so well with the cories, he might not like someone else in his area of the tank. But if one happens upon me, well at least I know it's not impossible.

Ok, this might be ridiculous, which is why I am posting, because I trust everyone to tell me so if it is. I have a 10 gal w/one male betta & 4 bronze corys in it (the corys are about 1 inch each currently). I've recently noticed that platys are pretty cool looking... could I keep one platy...

Thanks, I've started treating using maracyn II and I'll make sure his water stays really clean, unfortunately my hospital tank doesn't have a filter, as it is just a 1 1/2 gallon thing I use as a travel case normally. I'll look into those other meds for afterwards. Would you recommend doing 2...

Thank you both, I have posted in the emergency section and quarantied him, so hopefully we can get something figured out!

I just got an albino corydoras yesterday night from Walmart, and I picked out the lil one w/no top fins because I didn't think about it too much and just figured he'd been picked on or something (which corys don't do to my knowledge, so who knows). looking at him closer though and posting on the...

Hey, I have only just bought cories a couple of months ago so was hoping I could get some experienced insight into my situation. My albino cory Osiris died recently so I picked up another one tonight. So far he's been resting in weird positions (vertical for example) and then every so often...

Thank you everyone :thanks: ! All of these comments are very helpful, I can't wait to go back home for Thanksgiving break (I'm at college) and switch out my gravel for sand! :fish:

Red, Pinkishbody w/lt blue stripe and mixed reddish/lt blue fins, and purple/blue (depends on lighting) with yellow and blue/purple fins =)

Thank you!!! As another kind of related question, I was wondering what is the benefit of having something like sand, gravel, or w/e on the bottom of a tank? I always have but don't know what exactly it does. Is it purely for aesthetic reasons?

I'm trying to accomodate for my new corydoras in my betta tank. I just put in a shrimp pellet for the new lil guys (who by the way my betta completely ignores and vice versa) and saw it sinking into my colored lil rocks (or gravel? whatever it's called). I know sand is the best thing for...

I have three bettas, one at home in Illinois and 2 at school w/me in Indiana. I don't have any pics of Billy from back home but here are my two college bettas! Ender (5 gallon hex) and Scarlet (5 gallon mini-bow)

New bettas are so exciting! Congrats! Have you come up with a name for him yet? :thumbs:
