I have had the current set of 4 Mickey Mouse Platys in my tank for 3
years now. I bought them at a 99 cent special like I buy some of my
other fish. Black Skirt Tetras are also good although I just picked up
some serpae tetras for 99 cents a piece a few weeks ago. I had the
hardest time keeping neons and/or cardinals. One can go broke keeping
them. Too bad, too...they added some nice color to my tank. I am still
waiting for guoramis to go on sale, specifically, Sunset guaromis. I
need color...more color.....   :)
