I have a pair of Bolivian Rams (female and male) in my 20g, and they're my favorites. Very inquisitive, and have loads of personality. Despite the occasional bickering between themselves, they are also very mellow, and I've never seen them bother the other fish. I feed mine cichlid pellets...

Lol, I agree! They are adorable. I found a few more fry since since my last post. The count is up to 9 and all are healthy and eating well. For the first couple of days they were nothing but eyes. Now that they have grown some, they are actually starting to look like Platies. For some reason...

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I guess I was so excited about the new fry I forgot to put what they were! :D Thanks for the advice. I was expected an explosion of babies, so the plan was to keep a few and give the rest away. This batch was kind of small, so I'm not as worried about...

Interesting post. Is it true about fish getting seasick? That's hilarious!

Thanks, dkpate! I'm keeping a few, and I plan on giving the rest away. For anyone who would like some, they would only have to pay for shipping. Or they could just come pick them up if they live close by. Hopefully, I can get most of them adopted out.

Thanks for the warm welcome everybody! cwt, I've been checking out the Freshwater Breeding section, as well as some other sources. Thankfully, there is plenty of information out there for caring for pregnant platies and their fry for newbies like myself. Two of my females were visibly pregnant...

Rene here, nice to meet you! :D After weeks of lurking about, I finally decided to become a member. Although I have been keeping fish for a while now, I recently upgraded to my first 20 gallon. Having fun with my platies and cory cats. It was a bit of a rocky start, but all 11 fish are doing...
