I am hoping to stock mollies and platies. A while back a read that you should have a ratio of 2 females per male- since I am hoping not to have too many fry (or none at all) is there anything wrong with trying to keep all males or all females?
Failing that, I also read that you can get certain fish to act as predators for your fry. I was under the assumption that most fish would do this (I remember when I was very young having special compartments to put my pregnant fish in that would keep them away from the fry when they dropped). Is this incorrect?
I really like the little guys but I don't want my tank to get over run, and even if I set up another tank- what do you do once that tank gets over-populated?
Just wondering how to solve this problem.
