Congrats! I just got a 5 gallon tank, as a starter, since I have never had fish before. I didnt know anything about the fish, i had a molly and a platy. the molly was super energetic and playfull...while the platy would hide often. I was concerned since I am new to all of this. Well i believe it was week two..I came home from school one day and by the filter, there was this little tiny thing moving very fast. Come to find out, my platy had babies. I was scared because I didnt know what to do. haha. I dont remember exactly how many she had but about 3 hid in the rocks, i believe my molly ate 2...Another week after that, I was getting ready to leave one day, and i saw one come up from the rocks and go back down. Since then I have not seen any of them, both of those fish also died....the molly im sure overate... when i went to feed both of them, he would eat anything that came his way. The platy lived longer, she went last week.
I recently got 2 more platies for my tank.
they seem to be doing fine and they are happy little fish!
