water parameters?

i ck my amonia levels and they are ok, if thats what you mean
and i do a water change every week 25 to 30%.
i also have about 15 red platys and abour 15 red and yellow baby labs, but they all seem to be ok, i have 2 plecos and they are ok to.
im thinking of adding salt to the tank just in case
what do you guys think?

 

[CHUPA CABRA]

its a 75 gallon tank not a 55, and as soon as the yellow and orange labs get about an inch they are going in my 220g

it could be stress, how many females and males do you have.

 

[CHUPA CABRA]

i have about 2 times more males than females
should i separate them?

You could be a little heavy on the M/F ratio.
