A BIG thank you to Patrick (mykiss). He braved the round trip ferry to pick up some fish from me and deliver my female platies and taiwan blue shrimp. It was very much appreciated, for sure!!

First couple of pics of the platies and then their platy tank (33 gallon with some live plants). I love the white one but she is stressed, clamped fins. Hopefully, a few days rest and she will pick up. He gave me a whole assortment of platies, mickey mouse, solid, white/orange, and black/orange. Now I just have to wait for my males and the tank will be complete.

Then we have my 55 gallon with Eco complete going in. This will be my swordtail tank. Have a few swords in QT, black male, orange hi fin female (ready to give birth), a lyretail in another QT tank hopefully healing. Did not find any healthy female lyres today, I've got 2 males coming from Melody and have people on the lookout for me.

Lastly is my 10 gallon shrimp tank with cherry red and taiwan blue shrimp.

Nice fishies :smile: . I am personally putting Mr. Mykiss' Son through school I'm sure - he always has such cool stuff to put into my tanks.

I think the White is coming from bleeding heart genes. They have a great shade of red. Tough to get rid of the red if you ever want to, but who wants to? :laugh:
