What kind of algae is it?

They are an underrated fish. They don't get enough love. I really like them and they have some fun breeding behaviour.

Wow your going all in, you might be getting a co2 system before long at this pace. If you need a place to find deals on fish related items and fish and plants I learned whatnot live selling platform is a good place to snag some deals. They have an app and a website.

Could have been worse. Like a heater malfunction unchecked or forgetting to dechlorinate the tap.

Flourish is better than nothing. A step up is what was mentioned something all in one like easy green. Even better is some dry fertilizer of some sort. I like the green leaf aquarium ferts if your in the US. Theres a lot of others by now. Dry fertilizers will last almost forever if you have...

You could always make one. 2 by 4s and a plan with some nails and a saw. Otherwise you could buy one. Many options. Used on Facebook marketplace might be a good place to look. Amazon has some metal ones. Hardware stores sell racks. I like racks but stands are cool too. Stands are better for...

Wouldn't some white vinegar get that off better? I think I replied to a really old post disregard this :(

Yes pregnant. The female platys store the males sperm in its oviduct from about 9 months of breeding encounters. This platy could have batches for the next few months. When a male pops out it will mate with its mom when its old enough. Many other livebearers can do this as well. Watch out...

If I see a fish with fungus I usually use aquarium solutions ich x for it.

Its super cute and unique. You can get some bettas to jump out of the water for food if you hold it out above the water. Fishlore has been one of the more active forums I have noticed.

It is pretty old then maybe it's just getting near the end of its life. Since the bloat hasn't went down I would treat it with a med as I stated above. Since bacteria is always present in the water an older fish might just have a weaker immune system not fighting off the natural occurring...

I hope its not just you and your wife to tend to 600 tanks!

Nice fish. These are very interesting. I havent kept platys in a while this might inspire me.

That works and will hopefully keep any fish from jumping. I didnt know air flow from a lid was ever an issue? I have never heard that.

Whats your lighting setup? Do you use a fertelizer? For me ferts always make my plants look from meh to really good. Not always needed but usually helps.
