Heya. So, I can't find out, are platy's community fish? Or would I be ok getting a single platy? I have an empty one gallon tank that I am thinking of putting a platy in. any other suggestions for that tank? I know, I'm pretty limited in it... (ps. the heartier the fish, the better. I'm doing this for a girl that keeps losing fish...)

Platys can be left with only one, I have only one platy and he is doing great. They could be kept in groups if you wish to breed them.

Yeah, they could be kept solo, but they would be happier with more.

I'd usually say 3 or more, but in a 1g tank, even just 1 platy will need a lot of maint. to keep the water good.

He can survive but will be much happier with more, probably won't be too active by himself; do you have breed any fish? 1 Gallon tank would be perfect for fry (especially platy fry) until they grow larger
