Platies are beautiful fish, you can have all type of bright colors for this hardy fish and they are fun to watch feeding as well.
But will your aquarium be a good suite for it? How many liters should the tank be for platies fish?
Since an adult Platy can grow up to 7cm, and the rule for housing Aquarium fish is per 3cm of fish you need 10 liters of water. This means a single platy needs 20 liters of water. This amount of water is not only for better filtration but to make space for the fish to swim comfortably as well.
Also unlike Betta, Platies prefer to live happily in group, at least 5 males or 1 males and 3 females. This meant for starter, youโll need an aquarium of 80 liters.
Number of Platies fish | Water Tank in Liters |
2 | 40 |
5 | 80 โ 100 |
10 | 150 โ 200 |
Have fun choosing your platy fish colors
