Single platy

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...)

Re: Single platy

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.

Re: Single platy

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

Re: Single platy

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.

Re: Single platy

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
