Bought 18 pieces of platies last week.Lost 4 already.

Think I am going to lose another 4-5 soon.These 4-5 pieces have stunted bodies or clamped fins.Most of them are pineapple ones and males.Sunset ones still doing fine.

Buying platies can be hits or misses at times.Depends on the quality of the stock for that week.

Disgusted to find the price of a pack of Purigen went up from $13.80 to $16.80.

Thought the price is fixed?

All looked okay at Seaview.And it's the pineapple ones that gave me a headache.

Was thinking if I should replenish the deceased 9 pieces if the stock is ok this week.

Maybe should buy 3 males and 6 females.

Was wondering if my tank is overcrowded lol.

Thanks for the sharing.

how big is your tank and how many fish inside?
the filter also play a big part.

there is so much fishes you can add into the tank.
equilibrium will set in after that.

Both my tanks are 90x45x50.

I use Eheim Pro 3 600 for the platies and Eheim Ecco Pro 300 for the guppies.
