Platies are one of the most common freshwater aquarium fish and come in a variety of colors and forms. They do well on most flake or small pellet foods and get along with other community fish and livebearers like tetras, guppies, swordtails, and mollies. A small amount of salt in the aquarium will help to avoid parasites and assist in the gill function and health of the fish. Platies are livebearers and very easy to breed. Males have a modified pointed anal fin known as a “gonopodium” while this fin is held fanned out in females. A harem ratio (one male to two or more females) will produce the most successful broods. The pregnant female should be removed to a breeding container or tank and the fry raised separately.

Red Wag SwordtailThe most active of the common livebearers, swordtails hold their own with other community fish. With colors including marigold, red, green, black, neon, and pineapple, swordtails are a welcome addition to almost any community tank. The green coloration is closest to the original swordtails, as the other colorations and patterns occur through breeding. Males have the long “sword” extending from the bottom of their tails. A well-planted tank with plenty of swimming space is ideal.

Tooth Coral (aka Galaxea Coral)The Tooth Coral, or Galaxea Coral is commonly found in the green color form. It can be found in a variety of colors as well. As this species is aggressive, adequate space should be given between itself and its tankmates. The name Galaxea is derived from the Greek word galaxaios meaning milky, which adequately describes the tips of its polyps.
