I have a 29 gallon freshwater aquarium. I used eco's fishless cycle and it worked great! Cant say enough good things about they guy. I now have fish in it and am worrying I have over stocked. I have 11 platys in it now. I do not plan to add anymore fish beside an algae eater if need be. My tank dimensions are 24x12x20. As of now the fish are all acting fine but I know platys breed pretty fast so I am concerned it will get over stocked. Thanks in advance for the help.
 
well my first batch was 1M and 4F. My second batch I am not really sure. From what I can tell my ratio is off now. It looks like 5M 6F. The lady at the pet shop didn't pay much attention this time.

I am also pretty sure I have two prego ones!
 
Well you need 3 males for every male, oviously you know that. But you could take some males back nd if your not certian i can tell you if they are pregnant by pics... If you want. And you can sell the babies locally or you could sell them to you LFS or if you have a petco near you you can give them to them
