Platy: Amazing Fish 

I used to keep platies, Swordtails, and guppies. I also was very fond of glowline tetras. One fish a little off the beaten path was the paradise fish. I even had some success breading the paradise fish.

This is my favorite fish😘

Platies are still one of my favorite fresh water fish! Excellent tanks and vid!

Great episode! Platys, unfortunately, are often passed over for the "fancier" fish but they're amazing in their own right. Glad to see them get some love. :)

Platies are awesome! I had 5 that I bought from petco, that unfortunately were not very healthy so all but one female passed away. That was over a year ago, and I am STILL finding new fry in that tank!!! I have 6 fish in there now including the mother.

I have a pair of platy fish and they are amassing. They never fail to show off their colors.

Your platies are beautiful! They're one of my favorites too. Nice school of rasboras also!

Your planted tank looks great the plants are so thick! The platys look great against the green

I have 5 Platies and I love em.

Love these fish, they are really peaceful fish to watch. Wish they don't breed as much though... lol

Thank you this is very informative.

I love platies,. Always kept small ponds of them around my garden. They're amazing, colourful and freindly and will readily come to you for feeding not shy at all. My favorite at the moment is the '"Sunrise platy" as opposed to the more freely available "sunset" platy. They get pretty big, watch them grow, third year they're the largest. They're a gorgeous colour like a parrot. Bright solid yellow tail end and blood red top half and head. Males sometimes have high fins but it's mixed with mine, the dorasl fin is always a stunning yellow in males. Females are nice too, not so red with a yellow tail. I want the jewel like blue/green ones but haven't seen them for years and years around here. Little tip the platty types happily breed with one another so if you mixed them all together they wont come true to type but you will get interesting surprises colour wise. So mickey mouse platies will breed with sunset platies etc.

Great informative video! Your plants are rockin. What's the big leafed plant back left?

I’ve kept fish for over 20 years now and have never owned Platys until this week. I wanted something colourful for my smaller tank. I have to say, they are lovely fish and I’m going to have fun learning about them. I have a Central American tank with some big bad boys in. Such a difference uh.....🤪

as always brother another amazing video😀👌👌great job on those green terrors I'm raising a bunch of them in my 120 gallon tank congrats on this 50th amazing video right here special video right! Great job your doing🌟🌟

Cool fish

Congrats on your 50th!

@dwsdarius Congrats on the 50th episode! These fish are colorful like mbunas and plentiful like guppies, which make them my favorite fish.

Great fish, good video😊

Congrats on 50

Congrats! For your half century of episodes

I have 25-30 pieces of them in my 48 gallon tank along with 100 ember tetras and 8 corys.Had only kept them since I got into the hobby 13 years ago. Was never interested in other fishes. Platies until I die!

Are you going to do any updates on your platies I love this tank with the colors

Nice video Dws. Congrats on the Green terror babies. I failed trying to breed those guys.. Hope yours turn out nice as the parents.

I love platys , I just bought 5, probably shouldn't have though because I already had a lot of fish. I also have 12 giant danios 13 zebra danios 5 male cherry barbs 1 swordtail 1 pearl gourami and 3 very old white cloud minnows. The white clouds are what's left over from a group of 20 I got years ago the others all died off from old age . I have a 60 gallon, they all have plenty of room so I don't think it's too overcrowded. One of the platys I got looks pregnant.

very nice

Man! I love those Plattys. we only have mickey mouse, dalmasian, black and gold dust here.

Nice video

Great video. What are the big Leaved plants on the left? actually what are all of the plants, I am just starting to get into planting my tank and having a hard time choosing

How do you keep the tank clean with all those beautiful plants? When I try to gravel vac I wreck my plants!

Nice video was there a tadpole in your planted tank?

Watching bro

How many fish did you have in that 55 gallon tank? I am planning on getting a 75 gallon with the same kind of fish.

Hi, what's that green fish with a jet-plane like tail? Single one swimming among the platys...?

Do your different tetras school together?

do platys nip fin? and do they eat tiny snails? (they have become pest in my tank, so it would be great if they do)

What size aquarium do you recommend for 3 adult platys? 1 aggressive male and 2 females.

iv had no luck breeding, i got a clean tank, real plants good shelter, 2 gold barbs,2 small barbs,1 bristlenose,2 yoyo loach,2 female platys/Koi and orange, iv had luck with mollies a year ago but i got to save 1 but it died from fin rot. i bought a male platy today and he seems to dance a tiny bit but very shy still, hes bigger then my females and iv hd my females for 1 year now.

Have u breed any nice color Morphs

hey just curious, i have platys and i have a small male and he hides at the top of my filter, my water temp is 25 degrees and ph is 7.4, if there anything im missing?

How many platy would you recommend putting in a 6 gallon tank?

Nice video. I am setting up a new 10 gallon tank, and looking for fish who be happy with the tank size I have. I do not want to breed because, I worry I may run out of space. Would it be best to have all females?

Do the roseline sharks bug the platys or the guppies?

Darius I've been trying to keep this fish for 3 years now off and on. They only live for 6 months for please help what am I doing wrong. They normal start dying after the fisrt fry or born

I never have any luck with guppies they always die on me . Mine are white and black and dalmation babies . Do u own a shop ?

Hey Darius I see you have some Angelfish in there with those guppies and platy's. I didn't know they were peaceful together??🤔🤔 OR is it that the tank should be large in side and have ALOT of plants??🤔🤔 Also would just 1 or 2 should be enough in a community tank??🤔🤔

What is the size of tank?

Were you using any particular fish to control the number of new fry?

and how many can I keep in a 20 gallon tank with one blue guppy, 6 red cherry shrimp, 2 amano shrimps, 4 otocinclus catfish, and 2 emerald eye rasboras...they are in a lightly planted tank. have a problem with hair algae.

What is the difference between Platy and Molly?

6:16 what’s that big lump growing on your fish belly ....one of my fish has it too .. but she can’t be pregnant tho cus all my fish in my tank are female

I heard that platys eat their young, I have one big platy with two babies and they're all still alive, what's happening? it would be helpful if you could reply thanks

Platies and swordtail cannot impregnate female guppies right ? I have a single male swordtail and I don't want him to make pregnant my female guppies .

Also even though I've done my research about plates, everybody at petco recommended mollies for eating hair algae...is it true that they are better than platies or is it just that they want to sell more of the mollies? I'd rather have platies if they will hungrily devour all the hair algae on my live plants and tank walls,etc.

I thought they were Mollies. They look very similar.

Is platty aggressive or not

i have balloon platy

the only thing about platties, the sure do poop a lot

They poop so much. Had to return them or else I had to do heavy water changes every week. This fish is really meant for a 20 gallon.

my platy fish attacking gold fish what to do

Mollies

Will the platies eat my red cherry shrimp?

How many fish you had in that aquarium??

Jollies are live bearers

That buzzing sound really bothers me

I have two adult platys and ones red wag and red platy and eleven babies five of them need to go to good homes so Im triyng to find homes

Quick note do not buy one platy and put it in the tank itself, about 6/7 months into owning mines I woke up to a tank of fry 🙄 platy pregnancy lasts about a month and they reproduce asexually when they're bored or lonely. From that batch I have a genetically deformed fry basically it's tail is sticking straight up rather than straight so expect deformities as well if this happens

sup brotha.. just posted a vid of all my tanks check it out.. and please don't judge lol! the situation is just temporary

I dislike most of the live bearers they are the derpy fish...
