Platy questions

I have seen plants that are called baby hides. Little bushy plants that babies can use for protection. They work pretty good.
 
well i went to the pet store today and showed the fish guy what my fish look like compared to some he had in the tank and he pointed out some males that look like mine so i'm starting to think they're just fat. om the other hand i got a balck mollie that is definatly pregnant. i may be wrong, can someone post a pic of a pregnant mollie. oh yeah and i put a whole mess of the baby hide plants just in case, sound ok?
 
there shouldnt be any goldfish in there. the water parameters should be different for them and platies, barbs, mollies and eveything for that matter.
 
I don't recall any mention of goldfish. :thud:
 
yeah i saw this little patches of grass that they sell as hiding places is that enough? remember theres a tiger barb in there although he's really nice actually i think he's a baby so he hangs out with the bigest gold fish like it's its mommy. it's so cute. but i dunno.....

He's right. You have a coldwater fish with tropical fish. What kind of fish is your tank stocked with? What is the temp of your tank?

P.S. I wouldn't shipwreck myself in the living room. I would shipwreck myself in the kitchen by the fridge. I think I would use a bow and arrow system for communication. Glad you enjoyed the joke.
 
well my tank is definatly overstocked thanks to the lovely people at petco. in just a 2.5 gallon i have, get this, a tiny tiger barb two goldfish, two platy, and a molliie. WOW! i'm crazy i know. but the goldfish will be coming out soon and others moved to a bigger tank. ok laugh it up! lucky for me everyone seemse to be doing fine every is happy and no one has killed eahc other....yet. :thm:

Your tiger barb will soon rip everyone to shreds, especially in that tiny tank. You may want to consider taking him back. He will definitely seek out and eat any babies.

Please upgrade soon. And yes, take the goldfish back. They need 20g per fish if they are Fancies and 50g per fish if they are feeders.

gold fish. that may simply be describing one of them but it sounded like goldfish to me. better to be careful than assume its not an actual goldfish.
 
If there is a goldfish, then it needs to find a new home. If there is just a gold colored fish then I can't say where it should go because I need to know more than it's color. I agree that the Tiger Barb also needs a new home.
 
ok just so theres no confusion here are my fish





i think the only ones missing are the other goldfish although i think her/his head is sticking out somewhere and the new mollie.
