This is Marty my new mickey mouse platy. He was the smallest in the pet store tank and I felt bad cuz I saw he has red gills ( from ammonia I'm guessing ). Figured I'd bring him home to a clean tank so he might get better!

well it turns out that my female red calico Layla has become Larry. Yesterday while watching the tank he stuck his gonopodium out and chased Marty off. I don't know how I missed it the day I bought him/her. And no females in at LFS till wednesday. Anyone else ever have this issue? lol

Good thing my guppies are in their own 20 gallon ! I've got 2 males and 4 female platys in my 25 gallon and its like hormone central now!! Except Lola my mickey mouse nips at the male mickey mouse when he comes close but struts her stuff infront of the male red calico... very strange. My poor blue platys are getting no attention.
