Maja - 2005-05-12 I have had 3 platys in my tank for about 1 year now. 2 females and 1 male. I've seen them mate but the females have never given birth. I don't know why this is. Recently, I lost one of the females and the male isn't interested in the other female as a mate but rather as a companion only.
Mary - 2005-01-14 They truly are beautiful fish. I have 6 in a 10 gallon tank. Although I cannot tell male from female, I must have some of both cause they keep having fry. They make a great first pet.
Keith Hunter - 2004-10-16 I think these fish r great. they add color to a tank and they do well in a 6.5ph level. very small but can still be seen by all. Keith
Ann - 2004-10-09 They are quite easy to care for and I had several who managed to breed. They get along well with the other fish but my serpae tetra love to nip on them.
Jennifer - 2004-08-02 We have 2 platies that were a gift to my son on his 5th birthday. They have been GREAT as a fish for beginners. It turns out they are very hardy fish and have survived (and thrived) despite the fact that we are just learning how to keep an aquarium healthy. They even survived a bout with "protozoan velvet" parasite that must have come from the pet store. I love how energetic and colorful they are, and have become as attached to the little buggers as my son is.
peacock - 2004-05-04 I had started out with gold fish in a 10gal tank and got a couple of platies. I dumped the gold fish and now I have two 20gal tanks with about 40 or more platies of different varieties.
Susan - 2004-04-07 I love having platies. They are wonderful to watch and comes in various colors and sizes. They are easy to breed and easy to tell apart. I have two platies at the moment. A male and a female that are currently living in a ten gallon tank with other fishes.
The Platy is considered the color king of the live-bearer fishes! It is one of the best beginner fish and is excellent for community aquariums!

I love my platies even though I am a beginner. they come in a variety of colors and are peaceful.
One of the best fish. Very friendly even with betta!!!
