	I've got a stupid question RE: platy
NFaustman Enthusiast Posts: 172 Kudos: 163 Votes: 78 Registered: 13-Jun-2005	Will different types of platies cross breed? The platies in question: 1 male red platy 1 female red platy 1 male gold twin bar 1 female gold twin bar 1 female candy wag "I am a believer in punctuality, though it makes me very lonely" EV Lucas

By now I have heard a few times already, and experienced it by myself, that the male Platy picks a favorite and doesn’t leave her side. Basically, in my tank the second female was ignored, even chased away, and the first female was harassed all day long. Poor girl… Ingo Proud Member of the New Jersey Aquatic Gardeners Club
