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.
