FAQs

How many platies should be kept together?

It is best to keep at least three adult platies together in a minimum 10-gallon tank to ensure they remain active and experience less stress. However, a group of five or more platies in a 20-gallon or larger tank is ideal, especially for breeding, as this provides ample space for swimming and stable water conditions.

Which is better, Molly or platy?

Mollies and platies have similar care needs and can coexist well in the same aquarium. Mollies come in various colours and can grow slightly larger, while platies are easier to breed and generally less demanding in terms of water conditions. Neither fish is inherently better; the choice depends on your personal preference and tank setup.

Are platies easy to keep alive?

Yes, platies are very hardy and easy to care for, making them ideal for beginner aquarists. They thrive in community tanks with a minimum size of 10 gallons, tolerate a range of water parameters, and have a varied diet, provided their basic needs like temperature and feeding are met.

Is platy fish aggressive?

Platies are generally peaceful fish that get along well with other community fish. Males may chase females during breeding, which can cause stress if the ratio is unbalanced. To minimise stress, keep two to three females per male. Overall, platies are peaceful and suitable for community tanks.
