This will be a growout for my sisters tank. I am doing all the maintenance, so, yeah. It is community tank, per my sisters request. I helped her with the stocking, and this is what we have in the tank so far:

- One pair of Corys
- 3 Platys
- 1 Female Betta

the tank is new, so I am staggering the introductions. Next week we will add some other fish. Without further ado, here is the tank!

*The decorations are my sisters pick. It was a b-day present. I volunteered to do maintenance because I don’t mind it. Scaped by yours truly*

The late, very great, Takashi Amani would be proud of your endeavours. Looks great.

You know, I actually think you might just turn into a half decent hobbyist young man.

Don't make me eat my words by going getting yourself on probation again, lol.
 
People are saying on another forum that I should get rid of the Platys and lower (or raise, I forgot) the PH. I don't want to take advice from the noobs on Tropical Fish Forum (Which I only got on for some advice on the amount of Platys). Is this true?

Platies do prefer the high ph waters of Central America but will do fine in most tanks. More important with mollies.

Why remove the platies??
