How many of these platies can I put in a ten gallon tank?
I'm wanting at least one of each, but if possible I would like more. I'm thinking maybe one more different colored marble and possibly even a red platy too. But I need to know just how many platies I can fit in my ten gallon tank. If I have to, I can take the hi fin off the lit, but I'd prefer the rest. Would this be overstocked? How many can I have? I've never had platies, In the past I've had 7 black mollies in a tank, though I forget what size it was, it was smaller than a ten gallon. The tank broke. But the fish had die when my dad change the water while I was away… It tresses them out, maybe he forgot the conditioner or something but he has had a 50 gallon fish tank in the past so i don't know what happened. But when the water was changed they all died…
Anyways, how many platies can I put in my ten gallon tank? Do I need a heater? I have a water heater, but I've never used it on the ten gallon. I had used it for the Molly tank. Help? I need advice. This is just a plan for after my current baby bluegill outgrows the tank… No I'm not going to release him… Mainly because I just learned its illegal, tho I feed him fish fry out of the creek I got him from… I'll just buy him a special large tank just for him when the time comes. He's currently smaller than an inch so the tank he's in should be fine for now.
Btw, sorry the hand writing is so sloppy, I did this with an app on my phone and it hard… You try writing on a picture with an iPhone 4. See, hard. 
You can have 6, no more or it will be overstocked and they won't have enough swimming space.
You also absolutely need a heater, since they are tropical fishes.
Hope I helped, if you have questions don't hesitate to ask.
Since Platys are live bearers, which means they don't lay eggs but give live birth, their needs to be 2-3 females per male, and they will breed like crazy in no time. So if you're planning to get males and females I would start off with 1 male and 2 females because males put stress on pregnant females so there needs to be 2, to reduce stress on one another. And then you will have lots of cute Platy fry in no time.
If your planning to just getting only males or females, start off adding 3 then add another 3, because adding them all at once could cause an ammonia spike. 6 would be the limit though I wouldn't want to overstock it by getting anymore than that.
You do need a heater because they are tropical fish and need to be in temps between 24-25'c.
Hope this helps.
- Why is my iphone5 battery life going down every ten minutes? I had shut off everything and it's going down even faster? I tried resetting, closing all apps, and it still doesn't work? I disabled all of the apps and unnecessary apps. I don't know what is wrong.
- Why do so many kids these days have no respect for the things they get? A lot of kids these days get mad if they don't get a new iphone, ipad or laptop, game station, etc. When my friends and I were kids we and the other kids had legos, gameboys, Nintendos, and crayons with coloring books. But everything was appreciated. More kids were greatful then. Why aren't today's kids as greatful? Especially since everything works better now.
