We shouldn't have....

I know, we shouldn't have saved the baby platys, but we they were so cute....
:headshake2:
The first 2 we fished out of the 10 gallon tank housing their murderous parents spent their first month of life in a tupperware container where we put our plant clippings. It was barely a gallon of water, but I did almost 100% daily changes.
Then, after we'd fished out about 8 more, we decided they needed an upgrade. In order to convince ourselves that we were not really setting up another tank, we said "It's just a place to put plant clippings, so we don't have all those tupperwares cluttering up the shelves."
:liar:
So, here's some pics of our new "place to put plant clippings." Which has a filter.... And cute little baby platys....






It's just a random tangle of java fern bits, java moss, and watersprite in a half-filled 20 gallon tank (which used to be our QT). But I'm kinda liking the "natural" look.

I know! But the plan is to separate the males and give them away. We know someone who wants them.

David, yes the tank is just sitting in front of the window getting sunlight. I know that's not usually the recommended spot for a tank, but the temps here don't fluctuate dramatically. It's been fine so far, but we're keeping an eye on it. As for the plants, they're just clippings anyway, so it's kind of an experiment to see what will grow in there.

And, Lupin, I know--the platy babies are so cute! But for real, I think this might be the last time I get livebearers. They're aggravating my MTS.
