Besides which, flushing live fish is in violation of a number of environmental regulations. You are unlikely to be caught, but you could end up costing us all money.

So it is not just philosophy, it is also law.

another rather strange problem i came across, about 3 weeks ago i HAD a beautiful blue female platy, about a month before, she gave birth to loads of fry, about 7 lived to mature... they all turned out to be males and chased her round the tank all the time till she died of tiredness... funny old world

Why not feed your adult platies to another fish, keep the fry, allow them a to grow up, and eliminate altogether the problem of platy reproduction for at least a few months?

pow

Why "flush" your fish, when you can still watch them???

Joe, Can I get one of those at Big Al's, or do I need to go to a specialty place. I gotta have one. No more space for any more tanks in the rest of the house.
