Newbi question,
I know you have to have a ratio of 1 male to 3ish female swordtails. But seeing as platies and swordfish breed together, can i have 1 male, 1 female sword tail and 3 female platies. will that keep the balance ok?
im also looking for them to breed

    I don't see anything wrong with the combination. However, be careful, male swordtails can be very aggressive.

    It depends, is your ultimate goal to crossbreed Swords and Platy's? if so then your ratio is ok.

    Size of your tank would be helpful as well.
    Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes & dreams.
