Choosing fish for new tank.

New 20 gal. tank is in fishless cycling process using ammonia. Am trying to decide on fish. If I get 1 male and 3 female platys of assorted colors, will they breed.

Re: Chhosing fish for new tank.

yes. if you get those fish, all 3 will be pregnant pretty much their whole lives.

 

You could get males, if you like or if you don't intend on getting any male livebearers then you could get females....

 

Thanks,

I want to try and raise platys, but didn't know if a red wagtail would breed with a mickey mouse.

I think it's a VERY good chance they would. platys LOVE to breed!

I suggest not too. Sometimes they are already pregnant when you buy them.
