Any fishkeepers here? Saltwater or freshwater

So, I grabbed those and three Julii cory cats. They're all in the 10g with my betta. Lots of plants and snails, too. Interesting little things. I'm hoping I got a male and a female hifin, as I want to try and breed them.

Platies are in the same group as Mollies and Guppies. This means two things:

1) They're super-easy to sex. You can tell if it's a male by the anal fin - it's long, thin, and straight and runs parallel to their body. A female's looks more like a normal fin - triangular in shape and rounded at the tip.

2) If you have a male and a female they WILL breed, PROLIFEROUSLY. In fact, 3 weeks from now you might be wishing you had all females. They can have 30-40 babies at a time as often as once a month.
