 woops, it is an oto. ok good choice for an algae eater, but they aree delicate as said above and it would be beetter to wait until your tank has aged about 2 or 3 months. also, try to get them in at least a group of 3- they get lonely like cories and need a friend.  :P but i think otos aree probably the best choice for a platy tank, because they are non agressive and won't eat the platy babies and do a very good job cleaning.
