... what's the plural form of platy? I know the rule is that a noun ending in "y" usually ends in "ie" when it's plural, but this is not always the case, so I don't know if it's "platys" or "platies".

One thing I do know, it's not "platy's" :hmm3grin2orange: unless you're talking about a single platy's possession of some kind. E.g. "the platy's fins are black".

Hmmm. Apparently it can be either.
