Stressing out!

[lovleeko]

I am stressing out over my guppies. I'm pretty sure that my mean molly killed one of my female guppies and I'm taking both mollies back to the pet store. I thought they could all live together. Now I have been reading that platies are not good tank mates either. I love my platies and I just took the guppies and platies out of my 55 gallon and gave them their own tank because I was going to keep all of my brackish fish together because I have been having problems finding other things to stock the fifty five gallon with the brackish water and I plan to only put regular maintenance amounts of salt in it. Any of you keep guppies and platies. They never fight, if anything my male guppy wont leave the platies alone sometimes.

Platies and guppies will get along but the male guppies will harrass any female in the tank. Neither one will kill each other I dont think. I have guppies, platies and mollies all together and I dont use salt at all by the way.

All my platies and guppies have been fine in the same tank. I have a lot of females to males and that keeps them ocupied. I don't know about the mollys though . . .

The molly female doesn't seem to bother them but the male is insane. He is going back I think. I like him but I just get so worried all the time that he is going to hurt the other fish. So I think for peace of mind I'll take him back. I am glad to hear that other people keep the guppies with platys though. YAY
