my platy has always been super active, but for the past week and a half hes been hiding behind a moss ball with clamped fins and ive only really seen him swimming around when its time to eat or if its right before i turn the light off. Ive noticed his color isnt as vibrant and im getting really...

in the near future i am planning on getting 5 or 6 galaxy rasboras, the thing is i personally do not like how the females look compared to the beautiful males. i know the best ratio is 1:3 but im wondering if an all male or all male and one female tank would be okay? i dont know if it would...
