Okay so I'm a first-time owner of Platy's. After being a betta fish mom for over a year I finally decided to get something new. Well, turns out, the people at my local Petsmart which is oh about an hour and a half away from where I live, decides to pair me up with 1 female 4 males in my 10 gallon tank. So it's either beg desperately for someone to take her, let her die from stress (which I'm grabbing at straws trying to prevent), or place her in my homemade quarantine (shown below). Yes, it's a Mountain Dew bottle. I'm not very proud of it but there's really not much I can do right now other than let them chase her and to beat it all, they're mad because they can't get to her now so they're headbutting the bottle. So honestly what should I do? There's no room for more and I can't ask for a refund until ~2 weeks.

Help?

Perhaps give her to a friend with an aquarium if thats a possibility. you could consider a bigger tank and adding say 5plus females (expect an explosion of fry) but for all that effort and cost you could just take her back but obvouslyy thats a long journey for you. are there know smaller pet shops nearer you?

what ever you do i would give the petshop a massive peice of your mind
