	breeding platies
lifeofaloser Banned Posts: 4 Kudos: 6 Votes: 0 Registered: 22-Aug-2005	I have three platies, two females and one male. And I have three swordtails, two females and one male. They are not showing any intrest in each other. I was hoping you could tell me how I can encourage them in their breeding process. Any answers would greatly be appreciated. <img src='/images/forums/thumbsup.gif' border=0><img src='/images/forums/wave.gif' border=0>

Give them good quality food, time, and lots of water changes and they should start producing for you. A nice cover of watersprite floating at the top of the tank and a big clump of java moss at the bottom will help the fry hide.

This would also include the age of the fish Good feeding and correct water is a must. Get your water tested at the local LFS first and keep us up to date.
