Very nice, thanks for the pics. Lots of fish in there. Looks like you will be in the Platy adoption business shortly. How does the 200 watt heater work for you. It keeps the temp steady?

Awesome. It looks much bigger than it is. I would have guessed it to be a 20-30G tank just by looking at it.

With all those plants, I'm sure the tanks' balance is just fine.

I have a bunch of platies in a 10-gal, very similar to yours. I let them control their own population, and they do a pretty good job. I also don't overfeed, them, unless I happen to want them to leave the fry alone for a bit. The most I had at one time was 18, which sounds like a lot for a 10-gal, but I've never ever had water quality issues. The average seems to be 15, and they sure look happy. Nice tank, reminds me of mine a little, except I never had java fern.
