Good.Firebelly girrl said:Thats interesting! Do you think its bad for them? Or is it good food for them, like live brine shrimp?
I have not seen dwarf platies. These are probably stunted or runts which are the same as the balloon mollies being deformed fish.Rue said:I've been considering the dwarf platies this last while...
I would imagine it's good for them but be warned - it's pretty gruesome! It's not like most fish eating other fishes where it's one bite and they're away! They suck on them for a good while before they can swallow - poor wee things. Mine weren't eaten intentionally - I put them in thinking they would be alright as they seemed far to big - but it seems not. They were slow eating them though so luckily I managed to save most of them.Firebelly girrl said:Thats interesting! Do you think its bad for them? Or is it good food for them, like live brine shrimp?
They should get along. The bigger the tank, the higher the chance they'll leave him alone.Firebelly girrl said:Do you guys think platys would get along with a male/long finned betta? Are they fin nippy at all?
