_wendy_   Enthusiast Posts: 174 Kudos: 164 Votes: 64 Registered: 18-Mar-2005   | we are finally setting up our third tank. it is a 15 gallon tank approx. we want to keep this one quite simple. we have black small rounded gravel in and artificial plants. we are thinking along lines of guppies, platys, and mollies, with a nice red whiptail on the bottom. what numbers would you suggest? a pair of each?? any thoughts appreciated. thanks |

If so, the only possible problem I could see is with your numbers the males might stress out the females. Sounds like a nice tank though  ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean |

| katieb Fish Addict Posts: 697 Votes: 69 Registered: 03-Jul-2004 | The male to female ratio should be 1m/2fm. Though 1m/3fm is ideal. I'll do graffiti, If you sing to me in French. |
