Also are mollies good neighbors in community tanks? When the time comes I would like to add some livebearers, but I can't make up my mind which type! With just a betta how many platys would you recomend I add if I go that route?

But I really like platies to so maybe that can be my alternative! Will different groups of platies(red wag and mickey mouse)breed?
