Thanks to everyone for great comments makes it worth doing just had to cut back my plants again its a bit hectic really.I want set up a cichlid tank next but the mrs aint havin it she says ive got enough pets i have 4 vivs for my 6 corn snakes (which i built myself) a pond with about 15 koi ranging from 7 to 24 inches and 2 fish tanks and to 2 staffie bull terriers but im sure i will get my own way if i can find somewhere to put it
THANKS that platy is lucky to be there , i started with 4 platies ended up with about 40 had to give them away but this one was only a little fry so she got left behind and im glad she did as i have no surface agitation and she cleans all the scum for me and does a fantastic job
