WHat foods should I feed a platy? I was goin to feed them some flakes and a few betta pellets. Would this be ok?

yeah, they live with a betta.

I went to petsmart and noticed white patches on the red wag tail platys. Is this fungus or bacterial infection? and also, on alot of the assorted platys, I noticed a blaxk spot on their mouths, is this normal?

when you say, varied diet, does that mean alternating between brands of say flake foods?

follow what fish_4_all has said,and you'll do great :)
keep to one brand of flakes,as they all pretty much have the same stuff
in them.

another question, could I also ,possiblely, maybe, feed them the baby platys as live prey?

I mean just capture the babys that have deformities, save them in another aquarium and feed them as if normal then when its feeding time just toss em in.

How big are baby platys?

Second, do YOUR platies have the white spots? If so that is ick you can find the info on it in the sticky in this forum.
