First Fish In!

[Startup]

Just brought the first fish home from the lfs. Well, first in a lot of years. Tank just cycled (took 6 weeks ). I just got three platys - all female but ones pregnant. There's nowhere for fry to hide though, so I better hope they get eaten before I get attached to them (thats gotta be better than the other way around...).

Don't have a camera, but there is a red wagtail, a two bar sunset (the first sunset I've ever seen) and what looks to be a mickey mouse with some tuxedo colouring. I might get a male eventually, but I just want to see how I go with these first.

They are so cute, exploring their new home

Sounds like fun! how many gallons is the tank? you should breed them, thats even more exciting!

Thanks! Not so sure on the exact tank size as it is a stretched hexagonal but it's approx. 60L. I think that's about 16g?

I reckon when I get a male, they'll breed whether I want them to or not lol. But I'll be able to move them cos a freind has a predator tank .

Yup, 16 gallons.

Well, just as long as you can bear to let nature take its course.

Good luck with your future breeding.

Yeah, I know. I probably won't be able to bring myself to do it, but on the other hand I don't want to breed 'just for the heck of it' and end up with overstocked, miserable fish . We'll see. These ones have to live first, lol.
