Ryan,
Aren't you having all kinds of problems with this tank? Aren't we waiting for you to get test kits to find out if your params are way off? Don't we suspect your platy has a swim bladder disease or something else ailing him?

I'm not trying to be rude, but I REALLY think you need to hold off on this for a while and put your money towards test kits and get this tank stabalized. The smaller the tank, the harder it is to do as anything can easily swing the tank in the wrong direction.

Please just wait! I have a feeling you will probably say "i was going to wait, i was just asking" but you shouldn't even be thinking about adding more fish.
